    Description

      Application deployment should not fail if a web-fragment.xml references another fragment by name that isn't part of the deployment. That defeats the whole purpose of the relative ordering in the web-fragment.xml.

      For example, Seam Servlet needs to be ordered after Weld Servlet. So we define ordering the Seam Servlet web-fragment.xml as follows:

      <ordering>
      <after>
      <name>WeldServlet</name>
      </after>
      <before>
      <others/>
      </before>
      </ordering>

      However, we can't guarantee that Weld Servlet will be used. In that case, JBoss AS should just ignore the request.

      Here's the error that's appearing in the log:

      org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Invalid ordering
