Dan Sirbu [http://community.jboss.org/people/lmcdasi] created the discussion "Re: META-INF/services for module extensions - question/issue" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/625574#625574 -------------------------------------------------------------- The point is the following, the java.util.ServiceLoader is the common used and portable way of accessing services accross any java platform ! We do aggree on that I hope ! 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. The issue to me is that if the ModuleExtension needs a service from another package that was never intended to be an extention, thus a Module only, then when I want to  access a service from that Module I should NOT need to use the jboss-module ServiceLoader API ! 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! 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 ! And I think, from a design point of view, what I want to do should be correct and supported ! So, since so far I used 7.0.0 give me some time to use 7.0.1. ServiceLoader.load(ServiceAPIClass.class) - fails; module.loadService(ServiceAPIClass.class) - works where module is the Module object based on the identifier. No matter the dependecy. I also tryed between others : ServiceLoader.load(ServiceAPIClass.class, TCCLSingletonService.class.getClassLoader().getParent()) - fails 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.
