Description Jay Shaughnessy 2011-11-29 19:21:28 UTC

There was a bug prior in RHQ 4.2, and possibly for a while, such that
Embedded WAR resources (Child resources under an EAR resource, like
coregui.war under rhq.ear) had an invalid "Filename" plugin config
property value (and similarly incorrect "Path" trait).

The value was not a true path, it had extraneous information
appended.  

This causes problems for the new Drift support, which relies on the
Filename value being correct, the proper path to the embedded war
directory.  

The problem has been fixed but that means to apply a drift definition 
the existing resource will need to be re-imported, to get the
proper value assigned.

After further discussion, we won't be supporting drift on embedded web apps, so 
the documentation should state that.
