-------------------------------------

             Summary: JRE-provided services are not available to deployments
                 Key: AS7-5212
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5212
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Class Loading
    Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP)
            Reporter: James Livingston
            Assignee: David Lloyd


JBoss Modules does not currently support exporting META-INF/services from a system dependency as it does for module dependencies. As a result, any services provided by the JRE cannot be seen from other modules.

This results in deployments not being able to use javax.print.PrintServiceLookup and other API, since they will not find any implementations.

The modules/sun/jdk/main/service-loader-resources/ exists purely to work around this problem. It is not the best solution since the contents are JRE-specific.
