--------------------------------------

             Summary: support specifying the runtime-name in the deployment descriptor
                 Key: WFLY-7708
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-7708
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: EE
    Affects Versions: 9.0.2.Final
         Environment: Java EE 7
            Reporter: Gregor Rosenauer


There is often a need to change the name of a deployment, e.g. the EAR, from the default name to a stable name.

The problem is that common Maven practice mandates a version suffix, generating a fully versioned EAR. Wildfly by default (which is only changable from CLI/management console) takes the full name without the extension.
This leads to clunky and brittle code, e.g. JNDI lookups *have* to use the full name including version, which is most often undesirable.

As suggested in https://developer.jboss.org/thread/213914 I am creating this issue now,-)
