    We have released an implementation of this Idea into the Open Liberty 24.0.0.11-beta with https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/28110

    You can see a preview of the upcoming beta blog about this functionality in
    https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/29766

    Short version:

    To enable the functionality you add the attribute webModuleClassPathLoader="ear" to the enterpriseApplication configuration in the Liberty server's configuration file server.xml.  For example, like the following:

    <enterpriseApplication location="myApp.ear" webModuleClassPathLoader="ear"/>

     

    Note that you must use the <enterpriseApplication/> configuration to enable this functionality.  This implies that you cannot deploy the application EAR to the Liberty dropins/ folder.

    Thanks for the feature request, and we look forward to hearing your feedback on the beta functionality.
