Best answer is it's business as usual with regards to the three other bundles we offer. Would simply add a fourth choice.
The main goal would be to TCK test this setup and flush out any issues. There are some annoyingly strict rules around packaging of anything that's to be labeled Java EE Certified. Anything required for certification can't be added after the fact (must be in the binary) and must be enabled by default -- at least as far as the TCK can see. We do play quite a bit with the word "enabled" -- we can actually auto-enable quite a few things and TomEE is capable of quite a bit of lazy loading. If you clear out your tomee.xml so it contains nothing more than "<tomee/>", the server will still start and still deploy your apps. You'll see several log entries that say "Auto-Created Foo", which is TomEE effectively filling out the tomee.xml based on the needs of your app. This currently works for anything you can declare via tomee.xml: JMS, DataSources, Connectors, Containers, etc. TomEE won't load the respective providers (ActiveMQ, Hsqldb, OpenJPA, etc) unless it had to add one of it's resources to make your app run. JSF is an exception to the rule. We have yet to find a way to conditionally enable JSF only based on the data in the app and still pass the TCK. It's fine for 99% of the TCK, but that 1% prevents us from (by default at least) lazy loading JSF like we do most everything else. There's probably a way to do it given enough tenacity and time. The later one being the more difficult to acquire :) -David On Jan 24, 2014, at 4:48 PM, Abhijit Sarkar <[email protected]> wrote: > One thing we might like to consider is that all servers are modular these > days, and for good; many modules are activated on demand or only available as > separate packages.
