David,
If I understand you correctly jboss.protocol.handler.modules requires a URLStreamHandlerFactory.
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;
}
}
