How to deploy a RAR file and define its external dependencies?

[rareddy]

Hi,

I saw an example of datasource deployment, but did not see any RAR deployment xml fragments. Can somebody provide a simple example? I tried through CLI, that works, however since I have external dependencies to other modules the deployment failed. That leads to my next question, how can I define external dependencies for RAR file? Can I use manifest entries as described in https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Class+Loading+in+AS7? I am sure the defining the dependencies as global modules will  work, but I rather not take that route.

Thank you.

Yes all of those should work for all deployments.

resource-adapters subsystem - XSD is here: http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/schema/resource-adapters_1_0.xsd

Actually, you may want to consider doing the integration as a "shared library" approach.

See https://github.com/maeste/jboss-as/commit/787ae82770531c01b8277519ffe8354089e2935d as an example.

Actually, let me expand on the last post.

It will basically allow you to have a <teiid> subsystem with your configuration, and then bridge that into the resource adapter services that you need...

HornetQ will be an example of that.

Thanks Jesper and Jason.

Yes, the manifest mechanism is best fit for me.

Jesper, I do not think I want deploy as the shared library. Teiid sub-system as itself does not really need resource adapter services. The Teiid deployment artifacts need access to them. Also user can deploy their own too. I think what you have through standard rar deployer may just work fine. The test example gave me starting point for XML for connection-factory.

Thanks.
