You can deploy the driver as a jar, just like a war, ear etc. Then use
the deployment name in the driver element of the datasource config.

This old wiki article is pretty good too:

of JDBC driver.
He can either bundle it in WEB-INF/lib but prefer to deploy it on the
application server itself. Currently he deploys it as a JBoss module
but prefer it to be rather simplistic. His suggestion was to define a
directory like "standalone/lib/jdbc" and any JAR files copied there
should be automatically deployed as module.
What is the recommended way to deploy a JDBC driver to WildFly ?
Does it necessarily have to be deployed as JBoss module ? If yes, how
can this be simplified ?
