[WAR Product] Validation issue for classes provided by the application server [message #709162]

Hello

Starting to develop some bundles able to send email using Javamail,
I added a dependence constraint for javax.mail classes as Imported-packages.

I choosed this way because like javax.servlet, as part of JEE, javamail is supposed to be provided by the application server.

but I am facing some issues because war product complains about missing constraints.

To workaround that I have explicitely to add my javamail bundle in Plug-ins and Fragments configuration list of war product definition, but I would prefer to avoid that.

I expected that javamail would have been considered as servlet, meaning even some bundles depends on javax.servlet, it is not necessary to add explicitely javax.servlet bundle.

Is there any way to define dependencies supposed to be provided by the container, we do not want to add as bundle in WAR file (like javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http) ?

Regards,
Arnaud

More generally, I think it would be nice if WAR tooling could have some support for dependencies defined in "extendedFrameworkExports" of the bridge servlet.

Hi Arnaud,
currently there is not work around available. What you have described is a valid use case and a missing feature. It's simply not implemented to avoid such javax.mail warnings. Could you file a bugzilla for it? Thanks in advance.

Cheers Holger
