Exclude static httpcomponent module without excuding resteasy from JBoss EAP 7.1 - jboss

I need to exclude default httpcomponent module from my application, but I also use restasy and don't want to exclude or broke it. For httpcomponent I want to use versions from dependencies in my project. Is it possible with JBoss EAP 7.1?
Version of modules in jboss :
jackson-databind-2.8.9.redhat-1
jackson-core-2.8.9.redhat-1
jackson-annotations-2.8.9.redhat-1
I've tried to add to jboss-deployment-structure.xml this config but it didn't help:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.httpcomponents" />
<module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jackson-provider" />
<module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jackson2-provider" />
<module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jettison-provider"/>
</exclusions>
<dependencies>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

It should work, I can provide you a tested example (I've excluded the jettinson provider for my web app):
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jettison-provider"/>
</exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
I see only modules in your question, do you have the correct deployment -> exclusions structure?

How to exclude the specific jar from global module in jboss?

I have a war file that contains, some jackson dependencies and then when I try to deploy it on jboss eap 7.3 server, war deployment fails
Due to, as different version of these jackson jar are included via global modules. That I cannot or remove from their.
So I create a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file and tried excluding specific jar's inside the global module's but it did not worked.
But I was successful in excluding the whole global modules that I don't want.
This is what I tried!!
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="fb_library" />
</exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
This above config works, but it excludes the whole global fb_library folder, But as I needed to exclude some specific jar so tried this and it gave error as wrong format for jboss-deployment-structure.xml
This gave error of wrong config as mentioned above
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<resources>
<resource-root path="jackson-core-2.6.6.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jackson-annotations-2.6.0.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jackson-databind-2.6.6.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jackson-dataformat-cbor-2.6.6.jar"/>
</resources>
</exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
PS:- I have updated the question, as suggested by some members in chat, previously I was asking the wrong question. Apologies for that.
Again I tried this and not working
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.core" />
<module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation" />
<module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.module" />
<module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs" />
<module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json" />
<module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.module.jaxb" />
</exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
In jboss-deployment-structure, you are not allowed to add resources content (Jar files).
you need to specify the module name added by the dependency jar file itself here is an example :
here is a jackson jar that I want to exclude from jboss modules :
the module name is : com.fasterxml.jackson.core
and in the jboss-deployment-structure.xml it will be :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="com.fasterxml.jackson.core" />
</exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
This answer solve my problems for com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.cbor

loading shared native modules from ear file than from web apps in JBoss environment

There is a jar which loads native libraries .so files. This jar is available as a jboss module on the server. Native files can be loaded only once per classloader.
There are two war modules war1, war2 inside an ear1 file. if the module is configured as jboss module in both war1 & war2, I have no issues. But I am looking for an alternative where if i configure the jar which is loading the native library in the earfile/lib and the war refers from there, does that work. That particular class should load only once and shoudl be available in both the war files.
Solution:
We need to add sub-deployment section to the jboss deployment xml file inside ear/Meta-INF folder. That way the jboss module can be made available to all other submodules/war modules.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="com.aexp.sec.crypto" export="TRUE" />
</dependencies>
</deployment>
<sub-deployment name="crypto-war1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war">
<dependencies>
<module name="com.aexp.sec.crypto" />
</dependencies>
</sub-deployment>
<sub-deployment name="crypto-war2-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war">
<dependencies>
<module name="com.aexp.sec.crypto" />
</dependencies>
</sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
Note: For the Benefits of the future users, adding the solution of #Vamshidhar Cheburthy below,
We need to add sub-deployment section to the JBoss deployment XML file inside ear/Meta-INF folder. That way the JBoss module can be made available to all other submodules/war modules.

wsdl file not deployed in jboss eap 7

I have been trying to migrating from jboss eap 5.1 to jboss eap 7. My .war file has been deployed successfully but not my .wsdl file. I have used jboss-deployment-structure.xml with the below code:
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
<!-- Exclusions allow you to prevent the server from automatically adding some dependencies -->
<exclude-subsystems>
<subsystem name="webservices" />
</exclude-subsystems>
<exclusions>
<module name="javaee.api" />
<module name="javax.ws"/>
</exclusions>
<dependencies>
<module name="javax.jws.api" export="true"/>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
Is there anything I have missed out?

Excluding httpclient/httpcore in jboss-deployment-structure

I recently updated apache httpclient to 4.5.1 and httpcore to 4.4.4, but for some reason my Jboss server has older versions of both (4.3.6). I'm pulling in the new versions via ivy, but they seem to be getting overwritten by the versions on the server. I've tried making my own jboss-deployment-structure.xml file, but it doesn't seem to be working and the documentation is scarce on exactly how this piece functions. At what level of specificity do I need to be blocking modules to prevent jboss loading dependencies that override ivy?
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="org.slf4j" />
<module name="org.apache.log4j" />
<module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
<module name="org.apache.httpcomponents" />
</exclusions>
<dependencies>
<module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-core-asl" />
<module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-mapper-asl" />
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
Progress update: looks like the application relies on jaxrs and xalan, which in turn pull in the dependencies. ugh.
From the hibernate 3 jboss-eap-quickstarts:
<exclusions>
<!-- Exclude container version of hibernate. By default its version 4, we want
bundled version 3 loaded -->
<module name="org.hibernate" slot="main" />
</exclusions>
In your build for your application in the dependencies that pull in jaxrs and xalan set the scope of httpclient and httpcore to provided.

Jboss configuration to load EAR jars for xerces and xalan

I have jars within my ear lib which need to be preferred over the application server similar jars like xalan, xerces etc. Weblogic allows this to done as below and the application works fine now in weblogic - with the configuration below
<weblogic-application xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90 http://www.oracle.com/technology/weblogic/920/weblogic-application.xsd">
<xml>
<parser-factory>
<saxparser-factory> org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl </saxparser-factory>
<document-builder-factory> org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl </document-builder-factory>
<transformer-factory> org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl </transformer-factory>
</parser-factory>
</xml>
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>org.opensaml.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.xerces.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.xalan.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
</weblogic-application>
I need to do the same with jboss so that it excluded the similar jars which are present within its own library. I have tried the below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">
<ear-subdeployments-isolated>true</ear-subdeployments-isolated>
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="deployment.javaee.api" />
</dependencies>
<exclusions>
<module name="javaee.api" />
</exclusions>
</deployment>
<module name="deployment.javaee.api">
<dependencies>
<module name="javaee.api" export="true">
<imports>
<exclude path="org/opensaml/**" />
<exclude path="org/apache/xerces/**" />
<exclude path="org/apache/xalan/**" />
</imports>
</module>
</dependencies>
</module>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
Still it seems to pick up the jboss jars for xerces , xalan and opensaml. In case you have done such things before in JBOSS, your suggestion will be really appreciated.
