Deployment plans

[Phani Madgula <ph...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

We have an enterprise application archive that has several submodules
(WAR,JAR and RAR) within it. If we provide module level geronimo deployment
plans as well as a geronimo-application.xml plan for entire application, how
is the order of the precedence??

Can a Geronimo user provide plan at the module scope as well as at the EAR
scope??  How is the plan evaluated ??

Thanks in Advance.

There are 3 places a [partial] plan can be for an ear, and they are  
used in this order:

1. external plan
2. ear level geronimo-application.xml
3. module level geronimo|openejb-*.xml

So, anything in an external plan takes precedence over bits in (2) or  
(3) configuring the same module.  Anything in (2) takes precedence  
over a module level plan.  If a module level plan is missing from (1)  
its looked for in (2),then (3); if missing from (1) and (2), then its  
looked for in the module (3).

There is no attempt to merge plans from these different locations:  
e.g. if there's something in (1) for a module, any other plans are  
ignored.
