<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>The point is the following, the java.util.ServiceLoader is the common used and portable way of accessing services accross any java platform !</p><p>We do aggree on that I hope !</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thus, my point is the following one: if I want to have a ModuleExtension that needs to implement a service then I do not have any issue that I  need to use the ServiceLoader from jboss modules ! That I understand very well, it is a jboss-module way of doing things.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The issue to me is that if the ModuleExtension needs a service from another package that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">was never intended to be an extention</span>, thus a Module only, then when I want to  access a service from that Module I should <span style="text-decoration: underline;">NOT </span>need to use the jboss-module ServiceLoader API ! </p><p>I should be able to use the java.util.ServiceLoader as does any WAR/RAR or other type of app deployed as long as the dependency is set properly!</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>My point is that in 7.0.0 that does NOT work ! Unless I am doing stupind things around - which is always a possibility - but I doubt since I am not the only one in my team to have the same experience ! I used all kind of setups, including the service="import" if I am not wrong !</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>And I think, from a design point of view, what I want to do should be correct and supported !</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>So, since so far I used 7.0.0 give me some time to use 7.0.1.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>ServiceLoader.load(ServiceAPIClass.class) - fails;</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>module.loadService(ServiceAPIClass.class) - works where module is the Module object based on the identifier. No matter the dependecy.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I also tryed between others : ServiceLoader.load(ServiceAPIClass.class, TCCLSingletonService.class.getClassLoader().getParent()) - fails</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I'll try what you mentioned. Give me some time. I'll try to attach the eclipse projects next time with all setup if I can.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>BR,</p><p>Dan S.</p><div class="mcePaste" id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; top: 47px; left: 0px;"></div></div>
