Deploy jboss cache within an EAR

[erezharari]

is it possible to deploy jboss cache within an EAR? say i create cache-service.xml with Mbean def within it. can i just put it under my EAR META-INF folder?
will the service then be deployed within the EAR? will jboss-cache jar be able to 'see' my other jars within the ERA?

yes, you can deploy it, I have done it the following way:

- put the cache MBean configuration in file named jboss-service.xml
- put jboss-service.xml inside META-INF dir of a newly created SAR file (you can name it jbosscache.sar for example)
- in your application's EAR you put the SAR at root level and in jboss-app.xml you add:

<module>
<service>jbosscache.sar</service>
</module>

That's it :)
