Re: Deploying .ear

Hi Jeremy,

I've found the error. I don't know where this .ear is used in the test
tree, but it's broken. In the application.xml, there is a connectior
module, but there isn't a connector rar file in the .ear. The .war
file inside this .ear is also broken, it has some missing references
in the web.xml, and has a file called geronimo-web.xml inside the
WEB-INF, but the JettyModuleBuilder was expecting a file called
geronimo-jetty.xml. I had to rename that.

All those errors generated NPE.

I'll list all of then, and try to fix those I'm able. I think that the
correct error would be some DeploymentException, with some useful
message inside it. I think NPE confuse users. A message like "Could
not find file test-connector.ear, deploying connector module" is much
more usefull... :)

After making some organized list of NPE I could get deploying bogus
.ear, I'll send it to the JITA and also to the list.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have this list, right now I have to work a
little... (Geronimo is a hobby right now. :D)

Thanks - that's really appreciated.

Re: Deploying .ear

When a module in application.xml can't be deployed, what's the
expected action? I can see two possibilities:

- the ear isn't deployed
- the module isn't deployed, but the ear is.

A specification for j2ee deployment exist? Where can I find/read it?

Thanks,

Eduardo.

The ear itself should not be deployed.

Our provider implementation is in o.a.g.deployment.plugin.factories
