The jcifs package does not include a URLStreamHandlerFactory since java.protocol.handler.pkgs only requires a URLStreamHandler. Hence, I created a seperate jar with a URLStreamHandlerFactory and placed it in the modules/jcifs/main directory. (see code below) In the META-INF/services directory of this jar contains a text file named java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory which contains the fully-qualified name of this factory. In the module.xml file I added this new jar as a resource-root and removed the service-loader-resources directory from the resources list. the org.jboss.as.standalone module still has a dependency on the jcifs module. I am still getting the same MalformedURLException unknown protocol: smb. I put a break point on the createURLStreamHandler method, but it never seems to be called. public class SmbStreamHandlerFactory implements URLStreamHandlerFactory { @Override public URLStreamHandler createURLStreamHandler(String protocol) {   if((protocol != null) && ("smb".equals(protocol.toLowerCase()))) {    return new jcifs.smb.Handler();     }     return null; } } -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/729373#729373] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
