JBoss AS7 module classloader

[abhishekhp]

I have a WAR that I have deployed to JBoss 7 that dynamicially loads jar resources using its context class loader.

final ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); propertiesUrls = cl.getResources(TRANSLATION_PROPERTIES); 

However the context classloader only looks for resources in the WEB-INF/lib folder as when I inspect the cl variable in debug mode it list the classloader below (i.e the war module)

ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.warname.war:main" from Service Module Loader

How do I get hold of a classloader for a specific module in jboss that I have the resources in. I have the jars that i need to load the resource from in a custom module in JBOSS_HOME/modules/org/custom/...

ModuleClassLoader for Module "org.custom.blah:main" from Service Module Loader

Something like this?

{code}ModuleIdentifier moduleId = ModuleIdentifier.fromString("org.custom.blah:main");
ModuleLoader moduleLoader = (ModuleLoader) org.jboss.as.server.CurrentServiceContainer.getService(org.jboss.as.server.Services.JBOSS_SERVICE_MODULE_LOADER).getValue();
ClassLoader classloader = loader.loadModule(moduleId).getClassLoader();{code}

Nevermind I got it to work using the current classloader instead of the Thread context classloader. i.e. this.getClass().getClassLoader() instead of Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().
