Package APR native libraries correctly
--------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-2695
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2695
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Web
            Reporter: David Lloyd
            Assignee: Remy Maucherat
             Fix For: 7.1.0.CR1


The APR libraries for native jbossweb should be packaged in the "lib" directory of the module under the platform specific name, e.g.

* {{lib/linux-i686/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/linux-x86_64/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-sparc/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-sparcv9/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-i686/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/solaris-x68_64/libxxxx.so}}
* {{lib/macosx-i686/libxxxx.sl}}
* {{lib/macosx-x86_64/libxxxx.sl}}

For the case where you need to vary the library based on the Solaris version, you have two options:

* (best solution) rework the library to use weak symbols and/or libc probes and/or system call error detection, to detect features which are present and absent and adjust at runtime
* Introduce more than one module in each of the solaris-xxx directories with the version suffix, e.g. libnative-2.8.so or similar and check for solaris at load time, and if solaris, choose the library with the version encoded in the name
