Class-Path entry in WAR manifest didn't work if entry is a directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-4251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4251
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Affects Versions: 2.1.2
Environment: Geronimo 2.1.2 on Windows XP
Reporter: Frank Meilinger
Hi,
it's not possible to define an Class-Path element in the WARs manifest, if it's
a directory. I try to access jar files packed in the EARs lib/ directory from
within a WAR module.
e.g. this will work:
Class-Path: a.jar b.jar
but this doesn't work:
Class-Path: lib/
If a directory is specifyed, I receive the following error:
15:20:13,170 ERROR [DirectoryHotDeployer] Unable to deploy: Manifest class path
entries must end with the .jar extension (J2EE 1.4 Section 8.2): module=../
org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Manifest class path entries must
end with the .jar extension (J2EE 1.4 Section 8.2): module=../
at org.apache.geronimo.deployment.DeploymentContext.addManifestClassPath
(DeploymentContext.java:419)
...
I think this is definitely an error because the JEE5 specification section
8.2.1 explicitely allows directories in manifest Class-Path entries.
