The syntax is as follows: deployment.<bsn>:<version></p><p>So if you want to refer to a plugin with Bundle-SymbolicName 'my.test.bundle' and version 1.2 you'd use:</p><p>   deployment.my.test.bundle:1.2.0</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><blockquote class="jive-quote"><ul><li>When deploying OSGi bundles using maven jboss-as plugin or using jboss osgi console, where do the files get deployed ?  I dont see any jars in the deployments folder</li></ul></blockquote><p>They end up somewhere else. In the data/osgi-store/bundle-* directories of your current storage location. If you're running in standalone mode this directory structure exists under the 'standalone' directory.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><blockquote class="jive-quote"><ul><li>Is JBoss AS modules dynamically updateable as we do for OSGi bundles ?</li></ul></blockquote><p>This is probably better answered by David Lloyd, but I believe JBoss Modules would require a restart after an update.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><blockquote class="jive-quote"><ul><li>Does JBoss Modules can be deployed as exploded archieves ?</li></ul></blockquote><p>Again, not totally my area of expertise, but I think this is possible.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><blockquote class="jive-quote"><ul><li>Is it possible for a Modules/OSGi bundles to refer to a bundle that is deployed as part of another WAR ?</li></ul></blockquote><p>A bundle that's inside a WAR? You mean in its web-inf/lib directory? In that case its not really a bundle but rather a jar file which is deployed as part of a war file so it won't have visibility outside of that WAR AFAIK...</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Best regards,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>David</p></div>
