JBOSS 5.1: ignore persistence.xml in jar file

zsv May 26, 2011 3:08 AM

Hello!

I need to ignore persistence.xml in jar lib in my project on server jboss 5.1.

Structure of my project:

project.ear

\ lib

\ META-INF

\ core.jar

\ META-INF\persistence.xml

\ other jars and wars

There is jboss-classloading.xml file in project.ear\META-INF (because I'm using dirrefent hibernate lib):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0"
    domain="project.ear"
    export-all="NON_EMPTY"
    import-all="true"
    parent-first="false">
</classloading>

I need to ignore core.jar\META-INF\persistence.xml because jboss throw Exception during my PU start.

I'm trying to add jboss-ignore.txt to project.ear/META-INF with following content:

core.jar/META-INF/persistence.xml

But without any effect.

Please help!

Make sure the right "ignore" deployer is present.
And then the jboss-ignore.txt should be placed into core.jar/META-INF/.

Or you could move core.jar to .ear/lib -- since it's only a lib now, not a real EE sub-deployment,
and have it excluded from .ear/META-INF/jboss-ignore.txt.

I added jboss-ignore.txt to core.jar/META-INF/ with following content:

core.jar/META-INF/persistence.xml

Nothing changed.

An AbstractIgnoreDeployer should be present in deployers.xml.

I added jboss-ignore.txt to core.jar/META-INF/ with following content:
core.jar/META-INF/persistence.xml

Nothing changed.
It should be w/o core.jar/, since it's relative to that (sub)deployment.

An AbstractIgnoreDeployer should be present in deployers.xml.

In conf/bootstrap/deployes.xml there is no such deployer.

You need to add this deployer:
* http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-deployers/tags/2.0.10.GA/deployers-vfs-spi/src/main/java/org/jboss/deployers/vfs/spi/deployer/AbstractIgnoreFilesDeployer.java

Justin,

the AbstractIgnoreFilesDeployer does not seem to be available neither in JBoss EAP 5 nor in JBoss AS 5 distribution.
Can you confirm that?

I extracted the vfs jar and it does not contain such a class.
Moreover, when trying to add this deployer, I got a class not found exception and AS does not start anymore.

Greetings

The class is in deployers project / jar -- as seen from the link.
It's just a matter of AS using at least 2.0.10. Deployers version.

Ales,

so, short answer is "AbstractIgnoreFilesDeployer is not available in JBoss AS 5.1, since JBoss AS 5.1 uses vfs-deployers-spi v 2.0.7" .
To come back to this 6 month old issue, it cannot be worked around as is with jboss-ignore.txt in JBoss AS 5.1.

I will try to use the 2.0.10 with JBoss AS 5.1 to check anyway.

Edit: I tried. It seems too complicated. I started by compiling vfs-deployers-spi 2.0.10 and installed in. It then required jboss-deployers-spi, which I installed, but still other classes missing then.
So making jboss-ignore.txt on AS 5.1 is not that easy.

What about if you just copy pasted the ignore logic from 2.0.10?
(and then add those new deployers as separate custom jar)

I can see that replacing just vfs-deployers-spi might not be enough.
But what about if you change all deployers-* jars?
