RAR interface dependency (Classloading issues)

[santos.sandro]

Hi guys,

How do you see dependency of RAR classes in AS7 ? In 4.2.3.GA everything is fine with EAR classloader isolation, but I'm in trouble with AS7.

I have a rar with some Entities and Enum that I use in the Connection Factory interface provided by rar.

I have an EAR that needs to see these entities and enums to use the connector, including the Connection Factory interface for jndi lookup.

How can I organize these dependencies in AS7 ? Must I build a module with these files and make global ? Or link RAR and EAR with these module using jboss-deployment-structure !?

Can I make EAR depends direct of RAR ? How to exclude another classes/jars that are inside the rar to avoid classloader conflicts ?

Thanks,

The easiest way is to add your dependent RAR to your EAR as a connector module. The container is required to make all classes in the RAR available to application classes when packaged like this.
