Markus Straub [https://community.jboss.org/people/markus_s] created the discussion "ClassNotFoundException (org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler) in a module" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/714930#714930 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am trying to deploy a web application within JBoss AS, where a class in a custom-built library (let's call it mylib.jar) extends org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler. As long as mylib.jar is situated in /opt/jboss/standalone/deployments/mywebapp.war/WEB-INF/lib everything works fine. The problem starts when I want to use mylib.jar as a module, since several of my web applications should use it. I created a module by putting mylib.jar into /opt/jboss/modules/at/mylib/main. The module.xml looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="at.mylib">     <resources>        <resource-root path="mylib.jar"/>        <!-- Insert resources here -->     </resources>     <dependencies>     </dependencies> </module> Then I use the module by removing mylib.jar from WEB-INF and putting the line "Dependencies: at.mylib" into META-INF/MANIFEST.MF The module is found and loaded, but classloading of the class which extends DefaultHandler fails because DefaultHandler could not be loaded in the first place. I wonder how this can happen since it is part of Java6. My guess is that rt.jar (which contains DefaultHandler.class) is not loaded. However I have no good idea how I should fix this. It would be great if somebody could help me to find a solution. Stacktrace and System Specs are below. Thanks, Markus *Stacktrace:* 11:37:14,628 WARN  [org.jboss.modules] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) Failed to define class at.trafficstate.provider.its.YTimeseriesReader in Module "at.mylib:main" from local
