Path setting for DLL's in JBOSS 7.1.1

Question

We have some DLL\'s which are related to Java,VB. In Joss 4.X , We used to place in bin directory under Application Server.

We migrated to

Answer 1

Configure module.xml as below:

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.correction">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="xxx.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="xyz.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="lib/win-x86_64"/>
    </resources>

   <dependencies>
       <module name="sun.jdk"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>

Put the DLLs into the directory lib/win-x86_64. Check the another dependencies of your project.

In WEB-INF of your application creating the file jboss-deployment-structure.xml and put the content below:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
     <dependencies>
        <module name="com.correction"/>
     </dependencies>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

That's all.

Another Question: How can you make these properties files accessible to applications deployed on JBoss 7?

create a custom module where you put your properties files and put jboss-deployment-structure.xml to your application archive (WAR/EAR) to use that custom module.

Create the new module directory under $JBOSS_HOME/modules(using app/conf in this example)

mkdir -p $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/properties/

Put your properties files in $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/properties/

Create a module.xmlhere $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/module.xml

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="app.conf">
   <resources>
      <resource-root path="properties"/>
   </resources>
</module>

put the following jboss-deployment-structure.xml in WEB-INF:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
   <deployment>
      <dependencies>
            <module name="app.conf" />
   </dependencies>
   </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Then you can access your properties files using thecode below (example assumes you have a example.propertiesfile in $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/properties/)

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("example.properties");

Ps: I used JBoss AS 7.1.2 ( JBoss EAP 6 )
