Connector modules are not deployed

[rtimush]

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy my EAR project which contains a Connector module. If I use standard server provided by WTP then everything goes right and connector is packaged into ear archive. However, if I try to use server provided by JBoss Tools then connector archive is missed.

I tried to dissociate the Connector from the EAR and deploy it separately, but results are the same - standard server behaves well and JBoss Tools one deploys nothing.

It seems that JBoss Tools server cannot deploy connector modules at all.

Is it a known limitation of JBoss Tools? Are there any workarounds?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

there should not be any difference.

if you are using some old version of jboss tools (pre-GA) then yes there were issues like this with packaging.

[rtimush]

I use JBoss Tools 2.0.0.GA installed by update manager to Eclipse Europa Fall2.
Should I provide some more details about my configuration?

I haven't checked the code yet, but my impression is that you are most likely correct and connectors are not properly taken care of. I will investigate this issue when I get to the office.

[maxandersen]

but why should connectors be "special" compared to what the generic server do and we do ?

[rtimush]

In my opinion, connectors can be processed in the same way the utility projects are. The only significant difference is rar extension instead of jar.

[maxandersen]

Yes, I know but you said it worked with the standard WTP server providers then it *must* also work with our adapters....and if it doesn't I would really like to know what logic bug that prevented it from working ,)

[rtimush]

Problem still exists in 2.0.1.GA

[maxandersen]

Which jira contains the step to reproduce this ? e..g so it works with standard web tools server adapter but fails with our adapter ?

[rtimush]

I have created a JIRA issue: http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-1954.
Thank you a lot for your attention.
Also, sorry for some disinformation — publishing standalone connectors is impossible for standard JBoss server (I wrote before that it is possible, but I failed to do it again), but it works well with connectors packaged in EAR while JBoss Tools one doesn't work in both cases.

Sorry for the slow response here.

It seems I had overlooked connectors. This was a big error and has been fixed in svn. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

[rtimush]

Sorry for inconvenience, I cannot get nightly build right now. I seems, issue was only half-solved. I hope I'm wrong :)
I have changed org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core.server.internal.DeployableServerBehavior from JBoss Tools 2.0.1 as in JIRA diff. Connector module was deployed after that, but with wrong extension (.jar). This won't work, .rar extension is needed.
I will test nightly build myself as soon as possible, but anyone, please take a look.

[rob.stryker]

I'll investigate ;)

[rob.stryker]

new commit for ya ;)

rob - how does .rar suffixing works with WTP ?
