    Module Order Proprietary Option Backward Compatibility Issue

      Hi folks,

      I was asked by Dimitris to initiate this forum thread. The problem I'd like to talk about is described here:

      http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5115

      In short:

      I've got correct AS 4.x DD with the following content:

      <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
      
      <!DOCTYPE jboss-app
       PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD J2EE Application 1.4//EN"
       "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-app_4_0.dtd">
      
      <jboss-app>
       <module-order>strict</module-order>
      </jboss-app>
      


      Archive with such jboss-app.xml file works very well on AS 4.x but fails on AS 5.x with the exception (available in aforementioned bug). From my point of view it's backward compatibility issue.

      It should at least parse and produce a warning if the behavior is not supported.


      What do you think about it folks?
