WAR delegating classloading to EAR

[sergiu_pienar]

Using JBoss 7.1.1. Final.

Considering I have an EAR and a WAR, both deployed in standalone/deployments/ i.e. they are at the same level.

The structure is as follows:

     testEAR

          -WAR1.war

          -WAR2.war

     testWAR

Would it be possible that the testWAR to look into the testEAR's classloader for some classes (if it does not find them in his own classloader) ?

try to place WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml into testWAR with following content:

<jboss-deployment-structure>

  <deployment>

  <dependencies>

  <module name="deployment.testEAR.ear"/> <!-- for classes in ear's lib -->

  <module name="deployment.testEAR.ear.WAR1.war"/> <!-- for classes in war -->

  <module name="deployment.testEAR.ear.WAR2.war"/>

  </dependencies>

  </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>
