*.xml in jetspeed-security-*.jar cause problems
-----------------------------------------------

         Key: JS2-281
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-281
     Project: Jetspeed 2
        Type: Bug
  Components: Security  
    Versions: 2.0-M3    
 Environment: JBoss
    Reporter: Michael Lipp


The component file jetspeed-security-*.jar contains in its META-INF/ directory 
two *.xml files. These files prevent the deployment of this Jar in JBoss in 
other contexts than a WAR.

The reason is that JBoss assumes that there is a special deployer for Jars that 
have *.xml files in META-INF. So the default deployer for Jars skips any such 
Jars. This problem does not show if jakarta-security-*.jar is put in the 
WEB-INF/lib simply because you cannot use the JBoss deployer for Jetspeed2 
anyway, you must use the Tomcat deployer. but if you try to put 
jetspeed-security-*.jar in e.g. a sar, the problem shows.

As far as I have understood, the *.xml files are only significant for testing 
anyway. They should be put elsewhere.

I'm aware that this is, at its root, a JBoss problem. But I won't be able to 
make them change this behaviour.
