Adding External JAR into JBOSS 7

[svnkumars]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to JBOSS 7.

I created a sample webapp. In that webapp i callled a display function from a hello.jar. Now i placed heelo.jar under WEB-INF/lib then created and deployed app.war into JBOSS7. It is working fine.

Now my requirement is, I'll remove the hello.jar from WEB-INF/lib then how that hello.jar adding externally into JBOSS 7 and then how to create app.war and deploy into JBOSS 7.

Thanks in advance,

Nagendra.

You could create a static JBoss module out of it and add a dependency on that module from your application. But I don't see a need to do that when you can just package it in your application. Why do you want to move it out?

Thanks Jaikiran for your reply.

Please let me know how to create JBoss Module and add a dependency that module for my application. I want to be develop custom applications by using that jar. So i have to move that jar from our Custom Applications. And it placed as external it is just like available common jars (servlet etc) in JBoss.

Please send me any sample project with step-by-step procedure to my email. My email address is [e-mail]

Thanks,

Nagendra.

This document is not sufficient. It says use following command to execute external jars, but doesn't says from which location.

There are normally two ways in which a module may be directly executed.  The module may be launched by name from the static repository like this:

java -jar jboss-modules.jar com.your.module

Or, the module may be executed as a JAR file given on the command line like this:

java -jar jboss-module.jar -jar your-app.jar
