WildFly modules path

[mylos78]

Hi all !

Looking into the module path contained in WildFly Alpha, I can see that modules are contained now in system\layers\base path. Is there any restriction against using JBoss 7.1.1 modules path (modules/org ..) ? is this module path is reserved for core application server modules ?

Thanks!

You can/should place your custom modules in modules/foo/bar.

Thanks Jaikiran. Well I've tried creating a JDBC module under modules\org\mysql\main but it's not picked up by the application server:

C:\jboss-as-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT\modules\org\mysql\main

---------- module.xml

---------- mysql-connector-java-5.1.24-bin.jar

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.mysql">

    <resources>

        <resource-root path="mysql-connector-java-5.1.24-bin.jar"/>

    </resources>

    <dependencies>

        <module name="javax.api"/>

        <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>

    </dependencies>

</module>

I'll try and see if I'm more lucky with the modules\system\layers\base path......

What's exactly do you mean by not picked by the server? Can you add some more details please?

Well it does not appear in the driver list

/subsystem=datasources:installed-drivers-list

so if I try to create a new datasource, I'm unable to use the mysql driver. Also I remember adding an .index file in the folders "visited" by the module loader but maybe this is a peculiarity of JBoss 7. Just wondering if new data source can be created with AS 8.

Thanks

It won't automatically appear in the driver-list. You will have to configure it as a driver in the datasource subsystem. Have you done that?

I beg your pardon. I remembered this happened automatically with the module installation. Sorry.
