Extending /jboss/server/config/lib with sub-directories

[verilet]

I would like to place jars in a sub-directory /jboss/server/config/lib

/jboss/server/config/lib
/jboss/server/config/lib/foo/ ... jars ...
/jboss/server/config/lib/bar/ ... more jars ...

Will the classloader see these? If not is there a way to organize jars in sub-directories of the configuration directory? A classloader that would drill down a top-level jar looking for child jars would be very cool. The purpose of these jars are shared utilities across all of our products.

No, such jars will not be picked up. Simply edit the conf/jboss-service.xml descriptor to add whatever directories to the static classpath:

<server>

 <!-- Load all jars from the JBOSS_DIST/server/<config>/lib directory. This
 can be restricted to specific jars by specifying them in the archives
 attribute.
 -->
 <classpath codebase="lib" archives="*"/>

 <classpath codebase="conf/lib" archives="*"/>
 <classpath codebase="conf/lib/foo" archives="*"/>
 <classpath codebase="conf/lib/bar" archives="*"/>
...
