Declaring dependencies with an EAR to other modules

[Aman Nanner/MxI Technologies]

Hi,

I am confused regarding how to declare a dependency that my GBean has on a
datasource
 Connector, where both components are declared in my
geronimo-application.xml.

Here is my geronimo-application.xml:

----
<geronimo:application
   xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/application-1.1";
   xmlns:geronimo="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/application-1.1";

   xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.1";
   application-name="Maintenix">
      <sys:environment>
            <sys:moduleId>
                  <sys:groupId>Mxi</sys:groupId>
                  <sys:artifactId>Maintenix</sys:artifactId>
            </sys:moduleId>
            <sys:dependencies>
                  <sys:dependency>
                        <sys:groupId>geronimo</sys:groupId>
                        <sys:artifactId>j2ee-security</sys:artifactId>
                        <sys:type>car</sys:type>
                  </sys:dependency>
            </sys:dependencies>
      </sys:environment>
      <geronimo:module>
            <connector>tranql-connector-1.2.rar</connector>
            <alt-dd>maintenix-ds.xml</alt-dd>
      </geronimo:module>
      <geronimo:module>
            <connector>tranql-connector-oracle-xa-1.1.rar</connector>
            <alt-dd>maintenix-xa-ds.xml</alt-dd>
      </geronimo:module>
      <geronimo:module>
            <connector>ge-activemq-rar-1.1.1.rar</connector>
            <alt-dd>maintenix-jms-dest.xml</alt-dd>
      </geronimo:module>
    <sys:gbean name="TreeCacheService"
class="com.mxi.mx.common.geronimo.gbean.TreeCacheService">
    </sys:gbean>
</geronimo:application>
----

I also have some EJBs that are declared in my application.xml, but not in
this
geronimo-application.xml.

My "TreeCacheService" GBean that is declared at the end has a dependency on
 the "tranql-connector-1.2.rar" that is declared towards the top.  The
"tranql-connector-1.2.rar" has an DD plan (maintenix-ds.xml) that is
described as follows:

----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connector
xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/connector-1.1";>
    <sys:environment
xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.1";>
            <sys:moduleId>

<sys:artifactId>com.mxi.mx.jdbc.Maintenix</sys:artifactId>
            </sys:moduleId>
        <sys:dependencies>
            <sys:dependency>
                <sys:groupId>oracle</sys:groupId>
                <sys:artifactId>oracle</sys:artifactId>
                <sys:version>10</sys:version>
                <sys:type>jar</sys:type>
            </sys:dependency>
        </sys:dependencies>
    </sys:environment>
    <resourceadapter>
...
    </resourceadapter>
</connector>
----

I've tried declaring different dependencies within my GBean but to no
avail.
Creating a dependency on a completely separate module in the Geronimo
repository
seems easy enough, but I'm not sure how to declare a dependency on another
module (the connector RAR) when it is declared within the same EAR file.

Thanks,
Aman
