Deploying RAR connector as a JBoss Module

[gonzalad]

Hello,

I've just created a RAR connector, and would like to know how to deploy it as a module in JBoss 7.1 (in $JBOSS_HOME/modules directory) and reference it in standalone.xml (I've only seen samples with <archive> referencing a file and not a module).

Is it possible ?

Thanks !

P.S. For the moment, I've always use deployments directory :

• dropped my rar file into deployments directory.
• referenced it from my webapp jboss-deployment-structure.xml :
  

  <module name="deployment.jcms-j2c-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.rar"/>
• configured the jca connectionFactory in standalone.xml

<resource-adapter>
    <archive>
        jcms-j2c-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.rar
    </archive>
    <transaction-support>NoTransaction</transaction-support>
    <config-property name="Name">
        ResourceAdapterValue
    </config-property>
    <connection-definitions>
        <connection-definition class-name="xxx" jndi-name="java:/eis/AwsJcms" enabled="true" pool-name="AwsJcmsPool">
            <config-property name="baseUrl">
                yyy
            </config-property>
        </connection-definition>
    </connection-definitions>
</resource-adapter>

That is the way to do it - we have no plans to support a module based deployment model.

Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to do via creating new extension ?

In latest versions of wildfly is possible to deploy a rar as module even if it's not fully supported and not suggested, but present only for very special cases. Have a look to xsd and you would find module-name and module-slot in resource-adapter element.
