David Lloyd commented on AS7-2566:
----------------------------------

Modular dependencies are not transitive, by default.  By spec only class-path references are transitively visible.  If you want to make the dependencies visible transitively, you have to add the "export" flag to the dependency declaration.

Example:

{noformat}
  Dependency: org.foo.themodule export
{noformat}

> In an ear file user defined modules referenced from MANIFEST.MF are available to ejb jars but not to the ejb jars manifested jars.  When the jar manifested in tries to access a modules classes a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException is raised.  By the java jar spec the manifested jar should be in classpath of the jar manifesting it.  I tried putting the modules Dependencies: reference in both the ejb jars MANIFEST.MF as well as the non ejb jars MANIFEST.MF.  This is a run time error it deploys fine.
