[wildfly-dev] Deploying JDBC driver to WildFly

[Arun Gupta]

I was talking to Adam Bien and he is an avid supporter of WildFly and
using it in all his projects now. One of his pet peeves is deployment
of JDBC driver.

He can either bundle it in WEB-INF/lib but prefer to deploy it on the
application server itself. Currently he deploys it as a JBoss module
but prefer it to be rather simplistic. His suggestion was to define a
directory like "standalone/lib/jdbc" and any JAR files copied there
should be automatically deployed as module.

What is the recommended way to deploy a JDBC driver to WildFly ?

Does it necessarily have to be deployed as JBoss module ? If yes, how
can this be simplified ?

Cheers
Arun
