Include library files into deploy.

[ernest555]

Can I include library files inside the deploy directory?.

For instance:

$jboss_home/server/default/deploy/myapp/lib, in which all the JAR files that I'm going to use will be located.


Is there anything wrong with this approach?.

thanks.

Unless the JAR files contain deployable artifacts, such as EJBs, I don't think that they will appear in the classpath. You could, however, rename myapp to myapp.ear, provide a application.xml file (mostly empty) and then the JARs would be in the classpath.

Caveat: I have not tried the above so I cannot guarantee that it will work. Also, it depends on the version of JBoss AS (which you did not mention).
