Hi Romain,
That's great - thanks for that :-)
Is there a public readonly SVN repository for TomEE so I can test any newer
changes?
Best Regards,
Neale

just pushed a test to be able to fallback more easily to webapp.
it will probably need some enhancement but it should work.

Maybe if it has no WEB-INF and no META-INF either, it can be considered
the same way as an empty WEB-INF folder?
That would cater for ear but allow Tomcat-7 simple no web-xml apps to
work
immediately.
What do you think?

Neale

The problem with this is that for Tomcat everything is a webapp so
that's
easy to guess which module typ eit is.
TomEE can manage jar, war and ear so we need something to distinguish
them.
The WEB-INF folder is enough (and i think the spec don't say it is
optional).

Hi Romain,
Yes - an empty WEB-INF folder works fine, and also it's no problem
adding
a simple web.xml anyway.
I'm more concerned with whether it will stay this way and if it's part
of
the spec or not, as I'm making a list of differences for our customers
if
they want to try TomEE. Naturally the closer it is to Tomcat's
behaviour,
the easier it is for them to start using it.
Best Regards,
Neale

Did you try putting an emtpy WEB-INF folder?

Hi Guys,
One of the apps we're trying on TomEE 1.0.0-beta-2 throws an
UnknownModuleTypeException when deploying, because it has no
WEB-INF/web.xml file.
It's a simple static website (html, css, images).
The docs I've read seem to indicate that web.xml is optional, and
it's
definitely optional on Tomcat 7.
Is this a difference with TomEE or a pending issue?
I found another mail on the list from 9-Oct-2011 and TOMEE-27 on Jira
but
it's marked as Fixed for 1.0.0-beta-2.
