Class loading in JBoss AS7

[ranga033]

The classes/jar in each module is loaded by a local class loader and the dependencies for each module is mentioned in modules.xml. One of the module which I have created depends on a jar which is present in <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/ext. Shouldnt' this jar be automatically loaded into the JVM. I get a ClassNotFoundException .

Any reasons why it behaves so ?

Thanks !

No, you need to add the following dependency on your module:

    <dependencies>

        <system export="true">

            <paths>

                <path name="path/of/your/package"/>

            </paths>

        </system>

Thank you for the reply, In my case /path/of/your/package/ should be <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/ext ?  (without jars ? )

No, not the path of the jar, but of the package, i.e. : java/util for java.util.*
