[jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss AS7 Development] - META-INF/services for module extensions - question/issue

Dan Sirbu [http://community.jboss.org/people/lmcdasi] created the discussion "META-INF/services for module extensions - question/issue" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/621332#621332 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi,    I have create a module testmod that is stored into /home/jboss7/modules/com/mycomp/testmod/main with the appropriate jar file. The META-INF/services contains the necessary defition for a java service to be loaded.    I also create a testextension module that is stored into /home/jboss7/modules/com/mycomp/testextension/main. In testextenstion module.xml I add the dependency towards the testmod in order to have the classpath set properly.    I have 2 situations: (a) If I set the testmod as a global module in the standalone.xml, the the META-INF/services class defined there is loaded and available to a war file since when I deploy the WAR file via the ServletContextListner I can bootstrap the spi. (b) If I define the textextension in standalone.xml (and remove the global definition), then try to bootstrap the testmod from the testextension, then the META-INF/services is no longer loaded and the SPI is not working anylonger.    I am wondering if my test is valid. And if yes, what would be the reason that the testmod META-INF/services is not available to the textextension module. In the dependency definiton I tried : services="export" export="true" for example ( I try "import" too) but no luck.    Looking more carefully at the META-INF/services of the testextension module, there is one needed by jboss in order to kickstart the extension. And that get's called. So what I did, is to add the services from the testmod within the testextension -> still not luck.    And that sounds similar with : " https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4" - which tough looks to be old and addressed. I am using the GA version.   Any tips ?
