Set JBoss AS 7.1.1 java.class.path

[peterwkc]

Hello to all, I had tried to set the JBoss class path using -classpath C:\ and -Djava.class.path in standalone.bat and standlone.conf.bat but it still not able to set the class path where verfied from boot.log.

EDIT:

The reason i would like to set class path is because I have a Web service EAR composes of WAR and odjbc6.jar is composes inside WAR project and there is SQLException: No suitable driver found for connection. I had verified the connection url is correct.

Please help.

Thanks.

What are you trying to achieve by setting the classpathh? AS 7 uses modular class loading (JBoss Modules) which means that adding classes to the class load usually isn't what you want to do.

If you want classes available automatically to all deployments, you might want a global module (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Developer+Guide#DeveloperGuide-GlobalModules), but if you can explain the problem you're trying to solve there may be a better way.

I don't want global modules class loading. 

More info from here: SQLException

Thanks.

You shouldn't really package JDBC drivers inside a WAR, with any version. It can problems especially when you use hot-deployment, because DriverManager is global.

If it's JDBC4 compliant, you can just add the driver as a deployment - https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Developer+Guide#DeveloperGuide-InstalltheJDBCdriverasadeployment

If it's not JDBC 4 compliant, you can install it as a module - https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Developer+Guide#DeveloperGuide-InstalltheJDBCdriverasacoremodule
