Runtime jar loading with JBoss 7.1.1 Final

[execretor]

Hi guys, i have a little problem with runtime jar loading. My jboss structure is:

modules:

        libinterface.jar (core.interfaces.myinterface)

deployments:

        core.ear (in manifest i have "Dependencies: core.interfaces.myinterface")

If I create a new class into core.ear that implements myinterface, all is ok.

But, if I want to create an external .jar (libiec101.jar) that implements myinterface and call it dynamically from my core.ear, it don't function correctly (Class not found with myinterface interface)

Also If i try to deploy libiec101.jar into Jboss and load it from core.ear, it don't function correctly.

How can I load external jar that use a jboss module interface? I cannot deploy libiec101.jar as module because it's a plugin system.

Thanks.

Have you read Class Loading in AS7?

[execretor]

yes, but there is not my case.

I want to load a jar with this code,

URLClassLoader child = new URLClassLoader (myJar.toURL(), this.getClass().getClassLoader());

Class classToLoad = Class.forName ("com.MyClass", true, child);

Method method = classToLoad.getDeclaredMethod ("myMethod");

Object instance = classToLoad.newInstance ();

Object result = method.invoke (instance);

and not via manifest.

§8.2.5 in the JEE6 spec ("Dynamic Class Loading") describes a technique for accessing the classloader that may work for your usecase.
