[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-2989) Replacing JSP files through deployment overlays doesn't work for exploded deployments

[Stuart Douglas (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2989?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Stuart Douglas resolved WFLY-2989.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix


This was actually a deliberate decision. Basically the only way to properly support this is to directly replace the JSP file in the exploded deployment, which I don't really want to do as it involves modifying the user deployment. I think we should just document that this is not supported, it should not be a big deal as overlays are not particularly useful with exploded deployments anyway (as the user can just copy the file directly).

> I am enhancing DeploymentOverlayCLITestCase with tests for exploded deployments. It seems that with exploded deployments, replacing JSP files doesn't work. Replacing/adding libraries works correctly.
> Attaching my enhanced version of DeploymentOverlayCLITestCase. It just reuses the old stuff, only deploys deployment0.war and deployment1.war as exploded directories. To reproduce, simply replace the original test with the new source file and run testSimpleOverrideExploded method. It will fail on line 298.
