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

             Summary: Classes of a module cannot get access to the META-INF folder in its own jar/module
                 Key: AS7-5864
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5864
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Class Loading
    Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final
            Reporter: John Wu
            Assignee: David Lloyd


Currently there is absolutely no mechanism for classes of a module to get access to some META-INF/xyz files in its own jar/module, except are in META-INF/services.
This is a serious impediment when considering the installation of third party libraries as shared libraries (modules) in JBoss AS. Some frameworks may rely upon locating internal descriptors in META-INF, and if the libraries are installed as modules, the descriptors are not accessible to the framework itself. Essentially, there is no way of accessing resources under META-INF unless they are either services, or the library is packaged in the deployment.

This is the un-resolved part of issue [AS7-1928|https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1928].
