I was wondering if you can maybe try and help me resolve this issue. The ScannerFactory decides which one to scanner to use (either file or jar). I believe we need to use the jar scanner in this case (I hope vfszip supports it). I think in this case we can do the same hack that the ScannerFactory does for urls that end with "!/" to vfszip. Can you give it a go?

Thanks in advance,
Shay

I've just tried a little thing :

Breakpoint in my client app code on line : conf.addScan("entities");
then stepped to : public static Scanner create(String basePackage, URL url, Filter filter) throws IOException {... method till : } else if (url.getProtocol().equals("file")) {

Eclipse debbugger says that url = vfszip:/D:/DEV/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/deploy/CompassTest2EAR.ear/CompassTest2.jar/entities/ as I expected that.

I turned it in order to get url = file:/D:/DEV/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/deploy/CompassTest2EAR.ear/CompassTest2.jar/entities/ to pass this test
and so
return new JarScanner(basePackage, url.openStream(), filter); is called and it's working with no "protocol vfszip unsupported" errors.

but... never goes into : getMappingBinding().addInputStream(si.getInputStream(), si.getName()); (in addScan method).

I Will have a look to new vfszip next week...

have a nice day

Sorry for the long time without answer...

I've taken the test you've suggested and it seems to be OK.

Just added in ScannerFactoy class :

...
} else if (url.getProtocol().equals("vfszip")) { url = new URL(urlString); // urlString init : begining of the method return new JarScanner(basePackage, url.openStream(), filter); } else {
...

And items in the package were found successfuly.
