I'm currently tasked with getting our Java program out of the past and in to the future. It's currently running pseudo-compiled Java 6 (with a target of 1.3 in ANT), and using a lot of hacks to do "cutting" edge things at the time, like using com.sun.apt. I've since gutted all that garbage, and the program runs in full native Java 8 now. However, when I went to run the program in JBoss 4, at first everything was fine, until I tried MKYong's forEach example in one of our actions, the loadClass call coming from a Tomcat lib was crashing on the action that contained the J8 bytecode. I did some googling, and found that the ONLY version of "JBoss" that even supports Java 8 is Wildfly 8, the version that was created after JBoss switched its name to Wildfly. Right now I'm trying to setup some JNDI's for the server that JBoss 4 used to use, and this is how it's currently setup in standalone.xml:

        <datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:/jdbc/oraclePool" pool-name="oraclePool" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
          <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://DatabaseDNS:1433;DatabaseName=testdb;SelectMethod=cursor</connection-url>
          <driver>sqlserver2008</driver>
          <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
          <pool>
            <min-pool-size>0</min-pool-size>
            <max-pool-size>50</max-pool-size>
            <prefill>false</prefill>
            <use-strict-min>false</use-strict-min>
            <flush-strategy>FailingConnectionOnly</flush-strategy>
          </pool>
          <security>
            <user-name>test</user-name>
            <password>test</password>
          </security>
          <validation>
            <check-valid-connection-sql>select * from sysobjects</check-valid-connection-sql>
          </validation>
          <statement>
            <prepared-statement-cache-size>300</prepared-statement-cache-size>
            <share-prepared-statements></share-prepared-statements>
          </statement>
        </datasource>
     <drivers>
          <driver name="sqlserver2008" module="com.microsoft">
          <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
          </driver>
     </drivers>

The driver is coming from here: https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/HowToSetADatasourceConnectionToMSSQLServer

Subsequently my module.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- JDBC Drivers module.xml file to configure your JDBC drivers-->
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.3" name="com.microsoft">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="sqljdbc4.jar"/>
  </resources>
  <dependencies>
    <module name="javax.api"/>
    <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
  </dependencies>
</module>

And the directory for the module is:

         Directory: X:\WildflyTestBed\modules\com\microsoft\main
    Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
    ----                -------------         ------ ----
    -a----         8/3/2017  11:05 AM            377 module.xml
    -a----         8/3/2017  10:51 AM         584207 sqljdbc4.jar

But I'm STILL getting a module error in the Wildfly console:

    11:10:57,485 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 33) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([
    ("subsystem" => "datasources"),
    ("jdbc-driver" => "sqlserver2008")
    ]) - failure description: "WFLYJCA0041: Failed to load module for driver [com.microsoft]"

Any help anyone could provide would be amazing, as I've been stuck on this problem for 2 days now...
