Hi,
I am used to eclipse doing a lot for me, so I'm trying to learn more about app servers, deployment, etc. I also switched to Intellij for a trial.
So, I have read up as much as I can, don't have enough time these days and appreciate help. I read the stuff on implicit dependencies in jboss, so for example if I use the @PersistenceUnit the dependencies will be added, but this doesn't work in development in the IDE, and in Intellij I have to use Maven dependency in the pom file or get intellij to download the jars into the projects lib folder or else the IDE can't resolve anything and it won't compile. These are easy enough solutions, but what i don't get is, it seems like the inclusion of these implicit modules by jboss is a deploy time thing (I also read you specify them in the manifest file) but if you have to use maven or download and add them to your lib directory to be able to develop then what's the difference between using tomcat and doing that then deploying them together or using jboss or other java ee compliant server (which i read that the benifit of using them is they come with all that stuff included)? Either way you have to get the dependencies into your project manually to develop. The only thing using the full featured ee compliant server seems to get you is not having to actually include them in the lib folder of the deployment artifact.
At least that's what I have observed. I like figuring out these details but I just don't have the time these days and I'm quite curious about this.
Thanks
jon
