Configure patched module in jboss eap 7

Question

We use eclipselink in our applications therefore we configured JBoss to use eclipselink as persistence provider. We configured this by putting the eclipselink.jar into the following path:

JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/eclipse/persistence/main

In addition we have changed the module.xml accordingly. After that we could use it and it worked fine.

Now we want to configure the jboss with a command line script to avoid manual work. In addition the jboss should be patched to the current patch level (jboss eap 7.0.7).

After applying the patch the eclipse persistence module is in the following path:

JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/.overlays/layer-base-jboss-eap-7.0.7.CP/org/eclipse/persistence/main

With a later patch the path could be different therefore we don't want to copy files in absolute paths.

Is it somehow possible to use the jboss-cli to configure this module (add jar and change module.xml)?

Answer 1

You can use

module add --name=MODULE_NAME --resources=PATH_TO_RESOURCE --dependencies=DEPENDENCIES --module-xml=YOUR_MODULE.XML

--module-xml - (used with add, optional) filesystem path to the module.xml file which should be used for the added module. The file will be copied to the created module's directory. If this argument is not specified, module.xml file will be generated in the new created module's directory.

MODULE_NAME should be org/eclipse/persistence/main in your case
