External Context Module

[mschares]

When setting up an external context in WildFly 8.2 it requests a module attribute be setup but I can not find anything in the documentation that discusses that attribute. I am struggling to get this to work.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:2.0">

            <bindings>

                <external-context name="java:global/ldap" class="javax.naming.ldap.InitialLdapContext" cache="true">

                    <environment>

                        <property name="java.naming.factory.initial" value="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"/>

                        <property name="java.naming.provider.url" value="ldap://example.com:389"/>

                        <property name="java.naming.security.authentication" value="simple"/>

                        <property name="java.naming.security.principal" value="CN=ExampleUser,DC=example,DC=com"/>

                        <property name="java.naming.security.credentials" value="ExamplePassword"/>

                    </environment>

                </external-context>

            </bindings>

            <remote-naming/>

        </subsystem>

Since WF uses modular class loading, it needs to know which module to load the given class from. Since javax.naming.ldap is exported by the sun.jdk module, adding module="sun.jdk" should make it work.

I had to use the module "org.jboss.as.naming" to get this to work.
