             Summary: OpenWebBeans Arquillian Container rely on bad Archive instance assumptions
                 Key: OWB-880
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-880
             Project: OpenWebBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.1.8
            Reporter: Aslak Knutsen


When scanning the incoming deployment it's a bad idea to rely on the instanceOf archive types. It hinders users from creating custom Archvie Wrapper types.

e.g. 

https://github.com/apache/openwebbeans/blob/owb_1.1.x/webbeans-arquillian/owb-arquillian-standalone/src/main/java/org/apache/webbeans/arquillian/standalone/OwbArquillianScannerService.java#L92

https://github.com/apache/openwebbeans/blob/owb_1.1.x/webbeans-arquillian/owb-arquillian-standalone/src/main/java/org/apache/webbeans/arquillian/standalone/OwbArquillianScannerService.java#L160

To check for Archive type use: 
{code}
archive.getName().endsWith(".jar")
{code}

To 'cast' to a JavaArchive use:
{code}
archive.as(JavaArchive.class)
{code}
