    Add an external resource to jboss 7 classpath

    vspadaro

      I know there is a new module classloading system and according to these threads (https://community.jboss.org/message/616731 and https://community.jboss.org/message/615826#615826) i must put my resource file inside a package jar/war/ear to be deployed in jboss.

       

      But i have this problem: i use http://www.jgroups.org/ in my application and to use encrypted communication i need to put a java keystore in classpath, as you read in jgroups javadoc:

       

      This is the simplest option and can be used by simply inserting the Encryption layer at any point in the JGroup stack - it will encrypt all Events of a type MSG that have a non-null message buffer. The format of the entry in this form is:

      <ENCRYPT key_store_name="defaultStore.keystore" store_password="changeit" alias="myKey"/>

      An example bare-bones.xml file showing the keystore version can be found in the conf ina file called EncryptKeyStore.xml - along with a defaultStore.keystore file.

      In order to use the Encrypt layer in this manner it is necessary to have the secretKey already generated in a keystore file. The directory containing the keystore file must be on the application's classpath. You cannot create a SecretKey keystore file using the keytool application shipped with the JDK. A java file called KeyStoreGenerator is included in the demo package that can be used from the command line (or IDE) to generate a suitable keystore.

       

       

      In jboss 6 i simply modifed the start script to include in -classpath option the path of my keystore.

       

      In jboss 7, due to the new module classloader, it's impossible to do this.

       

      What can i do?
