Frank Meilinger commented on GERONIMO-4251:
-------------------------------------------
Hi,
Geronimo 2.1.3 has still this problem. Without solving this problem, Geronimo
violates the JEE 5 standard and makes it impossible to wirte portable EAR's
which includes skinny WAR's while relying on the new JEE 5 feature "Bundled
Libraries".
Please fix this it's important.
Until now, I have not found a workaround.
Greetings,
Frank

> 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.
