content of jboss-javaee.jar

RE: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4983

jboss-javaee.jar needs to be updated to resolve the inconsistency of classes contained in it for Java Persistence and Java Servlet APIs with those contained in ejb30-persistence.jar and javax.servlet.jar which are also in the server/${config}/lib directories. The jboss-javaee.jar does not currently contain a complete set of EE 5.0 API classes. This exposes a broader question of the intent of the content and the need to eliminate the distribution of duplicate classes in multiple jars. Comments?

Current content includes:
[INFO] JBoss Transaction 1.0.1 API
[INFO] JBoss EJB 3.0 API
[INFO] JBoss Java Servlet 2.5 API
[INFO] JBoss JACC 1.1 API
[INFO] JBoss JavaEE Application Deployment 1.2 API
[INFO] JBoss Java API for XML Registries 1.0
[INFO] JBoss Streaming API for XML 1.0
[INFO] JBoss J2EE Connector Architecture 1.5 API
[INFO] JBoss JMS 1.1 API
[INFO] JBoss Persistence 3.0 API
[INFO] JBoss Java Authentication SPI for Containers 1.0-PR API

The complete API set for JavaEE 5.0 should include:
# EJB 3.0
# Servlet 2.5
# JSP 2.1
# JMS 1.1
# JTA 1.1
# JavaMail 1.4
# JAF 1.1
# Connector 1.5
# Web Services 1.2 (JSR-109)
# JAX RPC 1.1
# JAX WS 2.0 (JSR-224)
# JAXB 2.0 (JSR-222)
# SAAJ 1.3
# JAXR 1.0 (JSR-093)
# JavaEE Mgmt 1.1 (JSR-77)
# JavaEE Deployment 1.2 (JSR-88)
# JACC 1.1 (JSR-115)
# JSTL 1.2 (JSR-52)
# WebSvc Metadata 1.1 (JSR-181)
# JSF 1.2 (JSR-252)
# Common Annotations 1.0 (JSR-250)
# StAX 1.0 (JSR-173)
# Java Persistence 1.0 (JSR-220)

Bug http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5126 relates to this thread.

The question is whether STaX APIs should be removed from jboss-javaee.jar or stax-api.jar should be removed. Both jars contain STaX API (duplicity).[/url]

[dimitris]

I see we have:

lib/stax-api.jar
lib/wstx.jar (the impl)

And Thomas says jaxb depends on the above

lib/endorsed/jaxb-api.jar
lib/jaxb-impl.jar
lib/jaxb-xjc.jar

If the above can't move then we should remove the STaX APIs from jboss-javaee.jar (which lives in server/xxx/lib)

(ie. after we tag Beta4!)

Just remove it from jboss-javaee.jar and delete project in svn.

Thanks for hint, I'll remove it from jboss-javaee.jar (of course after Beta.4)
