I have an application with a Gradle module structure similar to this:
app - applies warcommon/utilitiescommon/auth
etc.The app module applies the WAR plugin. When deployed to a remote server, this exception comes back:
Caused by: java.lang.TypeNotPresentException: Type [SomeClass] not present

Clearly, classes from depended-on modules are not being brought into the WAR somehow (which is exposed via Kodein service locator usage) - this is not intuitive since that wouldn't be the case if it was packaged into a JAR or AAR.
Anyone know why this may be happening and how I can change my Gradle configuration to fix it?
Edit: if I expand the WAR, I see external Maven dependencies are brought into lib as JARs along with non-app modules. All of the compiled Kotlin classes from the app module are in classes. I guess it's not working because the main app JAR is not bringing in the module JARs, for some reason.
The problem was simpler than expected. My module structure has modules like this:
The public and impl submodules go into the WAR as public.jar and impl.jar, it doesn't handle duplicates at all. So some modules were being left out.
I couldn't figure out how to change the outputted JAR names so I ended up changing the names like this:
