Wildfly 3rd party jdbc driver module location

[mykelbrooks]

If I am using CLI to install a 3rd party jdbc driver as a module in Wildfly 10, should I insert the driver jar into [Wildfly_Home]\modules\org\xxx\main

or

[Wildfly_Home]\modules\system\layers\base\org\xxx\main

or does the CLI "module add" script do it automatically

Custom modules can be placed in "$WILDFLY_HOME\modules" or inside the "$WILDFLY_HOME\modules\system\layers\base"  both should work fine.    However  as a best practice you can / should put your custom modules directly inside the $WILDFLY_HOME/modules    directory    so that you can easily differentiate between WIldFLy provided default modules Vs your own custom modules.

The Jboss-cli utility also should be able to create the custom moduce using the following command:

module add --name=org.oracle --slot=main --resources=/PATH/TO/ojdbc6.jar --dependencies=javax.api,javax.transaction.api

Above CLI command will generate the custom module XML as :   $WILDFLY_HOME\modules\org\oracle\main\module.xml       as following:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.oracle" slot="main">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="ojdbc6.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="javax.api"/>
        <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>
