Wildfly module alternate location and subsystems

[lhelander]

I am using the JBOSS_MODULEPATH variable to have multiple locations for JBoss modules in Wildfly 9. This has been working

fine until I tried to install a new subsystem using a location other than  $JBOSS_HOME/modules.

If I use the same structure "modules/system/layers/base/..." in the alternate location I get a duplicate layer "base" error and if I use some other locations,e.g.

modules placed directly under my alternate modules directory without any "system/layers/base" path prefix, I get an error indicating that Wildfly does not find the module(s).

Is Wildfly restricted to have subsystem modules under $JBOSS_HOME/modules ? If not, how do you do?

No it doesn't enforce that, it just doesn't like you have "base" layer in two locations.

You should probably create extra layer with all your subsystems in it.

Thanks for the response. I guess that most of my additions is really add-ons and should be placed as such.

I can not get it to work. Do you know of any existing example that works?
