Regarding creating a custom module

[vismay2011]

Hi,

I have created a custom module  with module name="web.xyz".

I want to reference this module in one of my SAR file..  I mean my  MBean classes are in one of the jar file present in "web.xyz" module.

how do I make these classes vissible to SAR file ?  I have added following dependency in jboss-deployment-structure.xml but still I do get ClassNotFoundException.

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">

    <deployment>

        <dependencies>

                                    <module name="org.jboss.common-core"  />

     <module name="web.xyz" />

                      </dependencies>

    </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

Please help me how can I achive this?  I can package those classes into SAR file itself but I am thinking is there anyway to achive this by using modules.

do I have to add some attribut like  export="true"  anywhere?

-regards

How is the module defined (folder hierarchy + module.xml)?

Hi Nick,

Below is my folder structure

C:\jboss-7.1.2.Final\modules\system\layers\base\piweb\lib\main

module.xml looks like below

C:\jboss-7.1.2.Final\modules\system\layers\base\piweb\lib\main\module.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="piweb.lib" >

                    <resources>

                              <resource-root path="mbeans.jar" />

                              </resources>

                    <dependencies>

                              <module name="javaee.api"/>

   </dependencies>

</module>

SAR package

     /META-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">

    <deployment>

        <dependencies>

                                    <module name="org.jboss.common-core"  />

                                         <module name="piweb.lib" />

              </dependencies>

          </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

Which AS7 version are you using? If it is 7.1.2.Final then the module should go into C:\jboss-7.1.2.Final\modules\piweb\lib\main\module.xml

[vismay2011]

Its jboss-7.1.2.Final (nightly build ..).. But I can see many modules have been defined under jboss-7.1.2.Final\modules\system\layers\base   what is the difference?
