I am trying to migrate from Weblogic 9.x to Jboss EAP 5.1
On Weblogic I had
1. APP-INF/lib : Containing multiple jars, shared by multiple webapps
2. APP-INF/classes : Containing classes and property files, shared by multiple webapps.
3. WebApp1
4. WebApp2
The APP-INF/lib & APP-INF/classes available in the classpath for the 2 webapps.
For Jboss the EAR structure I intend to have the following structure.
1. META-INF
2. WebApp1
3. WebApp2
For Jboss AS 5.1 please suggest a convenient way to have a shared structure similar to APP-INF, without having to put the files jars & classes inside the webapps.
I have tried using the following approaches, but they havent worked on JBoss AS 5.1.
1. EAR/lib (instead of APP-INF/lib)
2. Updated META-INF/jboss-app.xml to inlcude
<jboss-app>
<library-directory>APP-INF/lib</library-directory>
</jboss-app>
3. Added the jars and properties in the EAR classpath by updating the META-INF/manifest.mf. through ant while building the jar.
This is my reference :http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-application-server/211-configuring-jboss-shared-libs.html
Please let me know if I m missing something in this or is there another approach.
