Path setting for DLL's in JBOSS 7.1.1 - jboss

Question

We have some DLL's which are related to Java,VB. In Joss 4.X , We used to place in bin directory under Application Server.
We migrated to JBOSS 7.1.1 and when I removed from bin directory and placed them in libraries folder under C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\modules\com\correction\main\libraries .
I am getting this exception
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no xxxJavaWrapper in java.library.path
java.library.path = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin;.;C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\apache-maven-3.0.4;C:\apache-maven-3.0.4\bin;C:\Python27;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.xxxJavaWrapperJNI.new_xxx()J
module.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com.correction">
<resources>
<resource-root path="xxx.jar"/>
<resource-root path="xyz.jar"/>
<resource-root path="libraries"/>
</resources>
<dependencies>
<system export="true">
<paths>
<path name="libraries"/>
</paths>
<exports>
<include-set>
<path name="libraries"/>
</include-set>
</exports>
</system>
</dependencies>
</module>
But I place the same dll's in bin folder, it is working fine.
I want to place them in module folder and set the path from there instead of bin so that I can have all the application related jar's, properties and dll files at one place for ease maintainance.
Also I want to know how to set the path of txt and properties files in jboss 7.1.1

Answer 1

Configure module.xml as below:
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.correction">
<resources>
<resource-root path="xxx.jar"/>
<resource-root path="xyz.jar"/>
<resource-root path="lib/win-x86_64"/>
</resources>
<dependencies>
<module name="sun.jdk"/>
</dependencies>
</module>
Put the DLLs into the directory lib/win-x86_64. Check the another dependencies of your project.
In WEB-INF of your application creating the file jboss-deployment-structure.xml and put the content below:
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="com.correction"/>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
That's all.
Another Question: How can you make these properties files accessible to applications deployed on JBoss 7?
create a custom module where you put your properties files and put jboss-deployment-structure.xml to your application archive (WAR/EAR) to use that custom module.
Create the new module directory under $JBOSS_HOME/modules(using app/conf in this example)
mkdir -p $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/properties/
Put your properties files in $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/properties/
Create a module.xmlhere $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/module.xml
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="app.conf">
<resources>
<resource-root path="properties"/>
</resources>
</module>
put the following jboss-deployment-structure.xml in WEB-INF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="app.conf" />
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
Then you can access your properties files using thecode below (example assumes you have a
example.propertiesfile in $JBOSS_HOME/modules/app/conf/main/properties/)
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("example.properties");
Ps: I used JBoss AS 7.1.2 ( JBoss EAP 6 )
