      I am trying to port JEE application from JBoss 5.1 where it works for some time now to JBoss 7.1.1. Problem that I am facing now is related to different approach in class loading on JBoss7, which I am solving by creating my own module which contains libraries that are uses by my application. After solving several dependencies this way,  following failure occurred:

      Problem here is that reported class javax.naming.NamingException is defined in rt.jar, which is part of the java installation and is not defined as implicit dependency. Just for the test, I added rt.jar to my module, and problem dissapppeared. However, this does not seem like proper solution for me.

      How this could be done in a better  way?
