How to add JDK library dependencies in jboss-deployment-structure.xml file

[nnanda]

I am using JBoss 7.1.1.Final and I have a war file to deploy. In that WAR file, I need to refer following JDK class dependency

com/sun/org/apache/xerces/internal

I followed some discussions (links shown below)

https://community.jboss.org/thread/195182

https://community.jboss.org/message/717881#717881#717881

But, I did not get clear answer. What these discussions are not clarifying is:

How to include both module and system dependencies in the same jboss-deployment-structure.xml file; and how to do it for a WAR file. All the examples shared by Jaikiran refer EAR files and do not show both module and system dependencies.

Currently this file for my application looks like

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">
    <ear-subdeployments-isolated>true</ear-subdeployments-isolated>
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="com.oracle.ojdbc6" />
            <module name="javax.servlet.api" />
            <module name="javax.servlet.jsp.api" />
            <module name="javax.servlet.jstl.api" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.beanutils" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.codec" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.collections" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.discovery" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.fileupload" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.io" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.lang" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.lang3" />
            <module name="org.apache.commons.validator" />
            <module name="org.apache.httpcomponents" />
            <module name="org.apache.poi" />
            <module name="org.apache.velocity" />
            <module name="org.apache.xerces" />
            <module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-core-asl" />
            <module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-mapper-asl" />
            <module name="org.codehaus.jettison" />
            <module name="org.codehaus.woodstox" />
            <module name="org.infinispan" />
            <module name="org.jaxen" />
            <module name="org.jboss.vfs" />
            <module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters" />
            <module name="org.slf4j" />
            <module name="org.slf4j.jcl-over-slf4j" />
            <module name="org.slf4j.jul-to-slf4j" />
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Please help me to understand how can I include the mentioned xcerses internal class from JDK library.

Thanks,

Without testing I would guess something like

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <system>
                <paths>
                    <path name="com/sun/org/apache/xerces/internal"/>
                </paths>
            </system>

            <module name="com.oracle.ojdbc6" />

             ... other modules
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

jboss-deployment-structure.xml is not EAR-specific, it can be used in WARs also

Hi Nicklas,

This does not work, because as per XSD, tags modules and system are mutually exclusive (xsd:choice).

Let me know if you have any working example on this. It is a kind of road block for me now.

Wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

Best,

Niranjan
