How to access JBoss-specific classes in EAP 6

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6

Issue

We need to access org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.jdk6.WrappedConnectionJDK6 in our application, but get a ClassNotFoundError. How can we get access to it?

Resolution

  1. Find out which module(s) contain the classes you need.
  2. Add a META-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml to your top-level deployment (or WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml if it is a standalone WAR). If you have a WAR within an EAR, this must go into the EAR.

If you want to depend on org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters for example, use the contents:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters" />
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

If you wish to add dependencies to a WAR within an EAR, or other embedded deployment, use:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <sub-deployment name="mywebapp.war">
        <dependencies>
            <module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters" />
        </dependencies>
    </sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
