What's the module name if deploy jdbc in Jboss AS 7 as web application

Question

From this post start from Jboss AS7 the jdbc driver is able to deploy as regular application. However a question is, how other application is able to refer to this jdbc jar?

Answer 1

You can reference the jars from other deployments in this way:

  <module name="deployment.YourEarOrWar.YourJar.jar" />

Where deployment is the general prefix for a reference to your deployed apps. However, for a lib like a jdbc-driver I recommend to put it in the module-folder of the JBoss

 <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="driver.ojdbc">

<resources>
    <resource-root path="ojdbc6.jar"/>      
</resources>

 </module>

and reference it then

  <module name="driver.ojdbc"/>
