jboss-dependency.xml and aliases.txt

[adamw]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the jboss-dependency.xml and aliases.txt files, as described in the DZone article and on the wiki page.

I added the jboss-depdency.xml to my .ear file (so it resides in myapp.ear/jboss-dependency.xml) but it doesn't seem to have any effect, as I have put a non-existing dependency there and the application deploys withour problems:

<dependency xmlns="urn:jboss:dependency:1.0">

    <item>my-human-readable-deployment-alias</item>

</dependency>

I tested on AS 5.1.0.GA and 6.0.0.M2.

Any hints appreciated

Adam

It should be placed in .ear/META-INF folder.
