Hi Pavel,

I'm struggling with the same Problem.  Unfortunately, I have no solution, but maybe a workaround that may be useful for you too. I have an EAR in which two web modules are embedded. As I'm not interestet in testing the web modules, I simply remove them from the EnterpriseArchive:

          EnterpriseArchive ear = ShrinkWrap.createFromZipFile(EnterpriseArchive.class, new File(new File(".."), "/projectdir/build/libs/some.ear"));

          ear.delete("webmodule1.war");

          ear.delete("webmodule2.war");

          rewriteAppDescriptor(ear).

          return ear;

If you do that, you have to remove the deleted modules from the application.xml as well. I did this in a method "private static void rewriteAppDescriptor(EnterpriseArchive ear)".

Hope that is helpful for you too.

Hi Pavel,

actually, what I do is, reading the application.xml from the ear and writing it without the web modules on harddisk, then I remove the application.xml from the ear and add the written file to the ear again. Before I share the implementation, I have to say, this is done for a proof-of-concept and is no production code. Removing is therefore very straightforward without much checking.

   private static void adaptWarModules(EnterpriseArchive ear)
   {
      ear.delete("webmodule1.war");
      ear.delete("webmodule2.war");
      Node node = ear.get("META-INF/application.xml");
      String startModuleString = "<module>";
      String endModuleString = "</module>";
      String webModuleString = "<web>";
      File appFile = new File("d:/temp/application.xml");
      try (InputStream stream = node.getAsset().openStream())
      {
         BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
         FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(appFile);
         StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
         StringBuilder module = new StringBuilder();
         boolean moduleStartet = false;
         String line;
         while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
         {
            out.append(line).append("\n");
            if (line.contains(startModuleString))
            {
               moduleStartet = true;
               module.append(line).append("\n");
               continue;
            }
            else if (line.contains(endModuleString))
            {
               module.append(line).append("\n");
               if (!module.toString().contains(webModuleString))
               {
                  fw.write(module.toString());
                  fw.flush();
               }
               module = new StringBuilder();
               moduleStartet = false;
               continue;
            }
            else if (moduleStartet)
            {
               module.append(line).append("\n");
               continue;
            }


            fw.write(line);
            fw.write("\n");
            fw.flush();


         }
         reader.close();
         fw.close();


      }
      catch (IOException e)
      {
         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
      ear.delete("META-INF/application.xml");
      ear.addAsManifestResource(appFile);
   }
