jsr 88 and RAR deployment...

[madhav_inamti]

Can I use JSR 88 to deploy a RAR file to JBoss. The spec says I could. However, JBoss takes an XML file and a RAR file for the deployment, unlike an EAR or WAR file. Has anyone tried this.. The test case at JBoss only tests this with EAR, WAR and JAR.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
M

The xml file basically deploys the Connection Factory for the RA .
-ds.xml deployment should not be considered a part of RAR deployment , you can have the -ds.xml file as a part of EAR deployment or separate deployment .

What problem are you facing ?
