Oleg Gusakov commented on GERONIMO-1526:
----------------------------------------
If you look at the issue from a little wider angle - it has nothing to do with
any "exceptions" to JavaEE structure. JavaEE defines resolution structure for
some pre-defined module types - EAR, WAR. But it also adhears to JavaSE
classloading mechanism: looking for a class - ask parent classloader. Of cause
- we made it more flexible here by allowing to first check module's classloader
cache as an option.
So in essence what's stated here as well as in GERONIMODEVTOOLS-99 which seems
to be blocked because of this one - make regular module builder flexible, able
to resolve resources from either remote folder ("in-place deployment") and most
problems go away.
The only real issue that may need to be solved - in IDE environment standard
EAR or WAR structure may be split into physically different locations before
it's finalized by the build process. In this case module builder has to do real
"building" - assemble those pieces togerther into a compiant structure. The
easiest solution to that might be, say, using OS level hack - symbolic links on
the filesystem level. (Don't know if it's possible unde windows, though)

> In summary...
> - The module builders should not assume and cannot be passed in a jar file.
> - The module builders should not locate resources by assuming that the root
> location passed in is an J2EE file structure
> - Need to provide an abstraction of an ear/module one impl which would be by
> default is a J2EE structure, otherwise support a pluggable method to allow
