Currently, (the spec and current jboss code) says web modules should be in the ear. Jboss allows for this to be unpacked. And this is great. However, there are downsides to even this. We have a 650 meg website(lots and lots of images). Putting this into .war, then into a .ear, which will then just get unpacked, would be insane. So, we use unpacked ear support(on 2.4.4). However, it would be nice if we could specify an external path to a web module, instead of having to have the web module as a sub-dir of the unpacked ear. I'd love to help code this(I started to do what marc did on the 2.4 branch), but am currently swamped with helping to rewrite a 3 year old website into J2EE spec. Given a few pointers, I think this wouldn't be hard to do. It requires mods to some dtds(would have to be jboss-specific), then to the deployer(s). > Almost there, It's been fun watching the last few months. If you all remember(who doesn't?) I was working on Debian packages of jboss. I have been keeping those uptodate with 2.4.4, and slowly modifying how they integrate with Debian. I have several patches applied locally(several from sourceforge, a few I've done myself), that I want to send to this list. All the patches are against the 2.4 branch, as that is the current stable release. I've been waiting for a beta of 3.0 before I start making debs of it. Here's a list of the patches I have(there are some inter-dependencies in the patches, and all patch files have a description at the top. I just won't paste all that here, to keep this email short). One neat patch I rather like is the feature-tomcat-setup-ContextManager. I do in code what the tomcat server.xml patch does. adam@gradall:~/brainfood/brainfood/base/src/java$ ls ~/brainfood/jboss/debian/jboss/debian/patches/ -1 debian-dist-target debian-fhs debian-jboss-server-rolling-log debian-no-cvs-co debian-tomcat-build feature-error-exit-on-stop-failure feature-jbosssx-javadocs feature-jnp-server-bindaddress-backlog-settable feature-set-tomcat-home-in-mbean feature-sf-434155-jaws-stringbuffer-speedup feature-sf-439475-tomcat-virtual-hosts feature-sf-491399-RawXADataSourceLoader-support-non-string-props feature-sf-491497-autodeployer-magic feature-sf-492261-XADataSourceLoader-support-non-string-props feature-thread-pool-stop-method feature-tomcat-javadocs feature-tomcat-setup-ContextManager feature-use-JBOSS_HOME-for-conf-dir fix-NPE-persistance-manager-bad-dir fix-jikes-warnings-errors fix-postgres-standardjaws.xml fix-unpacked-ear-classpath _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
