Shared grails 2.0 deployement

[hsn10]

Grails applications can be packaged without Grails base JARS included in final WAR file (only application will be there). Idea is to install grails jars into some shared module and let multiple applications to use it.

Anybody can provide information how to deploy group of JAR as some kind of module and what to write into application descriptor to use it?

The first step would be to define the module. Follow this documentation for that https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODULES/Defining+a+module

Once that's done and the module is placed in JBOSS_HOME/modules/... folder, the deployed application can add a dependency on this module via the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file  or the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file. See this for details https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Class+Loading+in+AS7
