module reference in jboss-deployment-structure.xml not working

[tisaksen]

I have  jboss-deployment-structure.xml placed in WEB-INF of my .war file deployed on WildFly 15:

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">
  <deployment>
  <dependencies>
  <module name="org.javassist" />
  </dependencies>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Why isn't this working?

When I add the dependency to MANIFEST.MF of the war file it is working fine:

Dependencies: org.javassist import

Hi,

your j-d-s.xml looks correct, you can try to recent schema version 1.3.

I'm confused from

"""

Dependencies: org.javassist import

"""

import isn't valid parameter, valid parameters are export, optional, services, annotations, meta-inf. Check Developer Guide. If you try to import services, you should use <module name="org.javassist" services="import"/> in j-d-s.xml

Hi Martin,

I don't really know where I got the "import" part from in the Manifest but I removed it and it's working fine. However, when I remove the Dependencies listing in the manifest and put the updated j-d-s.xml in either one of WEB-INF in the WAR file or META-INF of the EAR file, it does not work and I get a ClassNotFoundException

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.3">
  <deployment>
  <dependencies>
  <module name="org.javassist" services="import"/>
  </dependencies>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

So is it WAR inside EAR? If that is the case I think you need to put j-d-s.xml to META-INF of EAR and specify dependencies for subdeployments.

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.3">

  <sub-deployment name="name.war">

    <dependencies>

      <module name="org.javassist" />

    </dependencies>

  </sub-deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

That was it. Thank you so much!
