I have an ear that uses the smb protocol from jcifs and I am having dificulty getting this to work on AS 7.1 Whenever my application tries to access a smb URL I get a MalformedURLException unknown protocol: smb In the Manifest of the ear I have added a dependency to jcifs. I have created the following directory structure under modules: modules |- jcifs      |- main          |- module.xml          |- jcifs.jar          |- service-loader-resources              |- META-INF                  |- services                      |- java.net.URLStreamHandler java.net.URLStreamHandler is a text file containing the class name of the Handler (jcifs.smb.Handler). module.xml contains a resource-root for both service-loader-resources as well as jcifs.jar I modified standalone.conf.bat to include: set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.protocol.handler.modules=jcifs I have also tried: set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=jcifs -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/728980#728980] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
