I might have forgotten just how effective this feature is but IIRC it only works for modules, not individual jars. So you would replace the webservices-common configuration with another one that's the same except for replacing woodstox with the other 2 jars.

Have you tried this and it really works with jars not just configs? If so I'm afraid you'd still have to replace the config to get 2 jars instead of one.

hope this helps

I am also trying to use this feature. One question tho, what if I want to substitute one module with 2 modules. For instance, we use woodstox as the stax impl, but a user may want to plugin in their own stax impl which has 2 jars. How would that scenario work?

I tried to only specify one of the 2 stax impl jars but we seem to get a server startup failure which I haven't looked into.

Let me know any comments you might have.

Thanks, Lin

They let you substitute one module for another. So for instance if you want to have Firebird as your default database you could create a new module system-database-firebird with appropriate rar configuration and timer gbeans and put org.apache.geronimo.configs/system-database// car=org.ashish.configs/system-database-firebird/2.0/car and then all the modules that depend on the system-database module would instead depend on your system-database-firebird module. Another place you might want to use this is to change the security setup to use for instance an ldap login for the admin realm.
the client_ one applies to javaee app clients.

Hi!!

<GERONIMO_HOME>/var/config contains artifact_aliases.properties and client_artifact_aliases.properties. I am unable to understand usage of these properties files. Can anyone guide me how to use these two properties files.


Thanks and Regards
