[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-1154) Allow the server to ignore files or groups of files at deployment time

[Stuart Douglas (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1154?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12961486#comment-12961486 ] 

Stuart Douglas commented on WFLY-1154:
--------------------------------------

The only way we could really do this is to add some kind of file hiding mechanism to VFS, so that it is handled correctly across subsystems. 

I'm not convinced that this is even necessary any more, as any problematic subsystems can be excluded through the use of jboss-deployment-structure.xml (e.g. if you don't want persistence.xml read then you can just exclude the JPA subsystem).

> Legacy and migrated applications may occasionally contain files which are incompatible with the Java EE specification and can cause the application to fail the deployment. The difference between those cases and really faulty Java EE applications lies in the intent of the developer - whether they wish for those files to be picked up by the server and processed, or not. 
> In such cases, it may be useful to expand the deployment specification and to be able to instruct the server to ignore particular files at deployment time.
