Dependency on ear's ejb.jar in separate war

[bardacp]

Hi, Im am making some kind of plugin system in Wildfly. What I want to do is to have main application bundled as ear and other plugins as separate war(s).

So the deployments folder in Wildfly looks like this:

my-app.ear

  --ejb1.jar

  --app.war(not important here)

plugin.war

plugin.war has provided maven dependency on ejb1.jar but this exception is thrown:

WFLYSRV0179: Failed to load module: deployment.plugin.war:main

  at org.jboss.as.server.moduleservice.ModuleLoadService.start(ModuleLoadService.java:91)

  ... 5 more

I also tried adding jboss-deployment-structure.xml in plugin.war WEB-INF folder with this content but it did not help:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>

<deployment>

   <dependencies>

   <module name="my-app.ear" export="TRUE"/>

   <module name="my-app.ear.ejb1.jar" export="TRUE"/>

   </dependencies>

</deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

Is Wildfly capable of doing such thing?

Ok i got it working somehow.

First thing - mistake in jboss-deployments-structure.xml module name should start with deployment. so correct is:

  <module name="deployment.my-app.ear" export="TRUE"/>

  <module name="deployment.my-app.ear.ejb1.jar" export="TRUE"/>

Second - When injecting ejb I have to use @EJB(lookup=GLOBAL_JNDI_NAME) with that jndi path which sucks but I can live with that. Without path it throws WFLYEJB0406 and @Inject annotation throws WELD-001408.

If someone knows about some kind of idea how to realize idea about plugin system in Wildfly(or generally JEE) please post it here thanks.

Hi Joe,

I'm facing a very similar problem and also have to use the GLOBAL_JNDI_NAME.
Did your or somebody else found a way to avoid the setting of a lookup name?
