But doesn't the "global module" imply that the compression stuff is in a module? Which brings back the question. "Is the module well-defined and picked up but JBoss Modules?"

And you see the module being picked up if you raise the log levels?

Wondering if the MANIFEST.MF in the WAR needs a Dependencies: solverminds.compress.compressapi even if it's a global module?

Hi

Creating JBOSS Global module is a two step process

1. Create folder inside "module\org\JBOSS\Sample_Module\Main". Here, org\JBOSS\Sample_Module is your global module. Place your jar file and its configuration file with it. Configuration file will be with name "module.xml" with contents

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

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="org.jboss.sample_module">

    <dependencies>

        <module name="javaee.api"/>

    </dependencies>

    <resources>

        <resource-root path="jar_name.jar"/>

        <!-- Insert resources here -->

    </resources>

</module>

2. Add this module name in JBOSS configuration. I am taking example of standalone.xml so entry has to be changed from

to

First step will create a Module and second step will load newly created module to make available for applicatons. One more thing, You have to restart JBOSS

Be careful with folder names, best approach is to keep them lower case.

as otherwise your instructions will only work on windows...
