Thomas Andraschko commented on MYFACES-3212:
--------------------------------------------
AFAICS WildFly now provides an mode for MyFaces as JSF implementation. I would
close it as won't fix. WDYT?
> Give Hint when CustomAnnotationProvider needed, ex. when
> DefaultAnnotationProvider fails on jboss AS6 related to jboss-vfs urls

> Key: MYFACES-3212
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3212
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JSR-314
> Affects Versions: 2.0.7, 2.1.1
> Environment: JBoss AS6 and others
> Reporter: Pablo Morales Mombiela
> Original Estimate: 1m
> Remaining Estimate: 1m
>
> When scanning class files searching for annotatios, if
> org.apache.myfaces.config.annotation.DefaultAnnotationProvider can not open
> URL quietly do nothing. It's really difficult to discover what is going on
> and many people may think that provided MyFaces can not be used on JbossAS6
> I think that
> org.apache.myfaces.config.annotation.DefaultAnnotationProvider._getAlternativeJarFile(URL
> url) must report/log some error before 'return null' and point the user to
> implement a CustomAnnotationProvider in order to make it work.
> I didn't found any documentation that make this clear at any point. MyFaces
> documentation should explain:
> - why is needed
> - How to provide custom DefaultAnnotationProvider in web.xml context param
> or in META-INF/services/org.apache.myfaces.spi.AnnotationProvider
> - Explain that in JBoss AS6 a custom implementation must be provided able
> to use jboss-vsf and point to VSF documentation in
> http://community.jboss.org/wiki/VFS3UserGuide. We implemented a scanner based
> on VSF visitor pattern that work great but spent a huge amount of time on it.
> Can't this provider be included because of license issues with jboss?
> This will make migration from Mojarra much faster when using jboss and
> probably others.
> Thank you for your attention.
