jboss-deployment-structure.xml does not loads the dependencies in My EAR project

Question

this is my jboss-deployment-structure.xml of EAR project.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jboss-deployment-structure >

<deployment>

    <dependencies>
        <module name="org.javassist" export="true" />
        <module name="org.apache" export="true"/>
        <module name="org.antlr" export="true"/>
        <module name="org.dom4j" export="true"/>
        <module name="org.apache" export="true"/>
        <module name="org.hibernate" export="true"/>

    </dependencies>

</deployment>


</jboss-deployment-structure>

and EAR project have my other projects in deployment path. some are JARS and one is WAR. and my one of Project uses the dependencies in the lib of EAR project. now I m removing the jars from lib folder and added above jboss-deployment-structure.xml . I guess jars are not being loaded and gives the error of not finding the required jars. this is the StackTrace

It means Hibernate jars are not being added, but why thats the problem.

Answer 1

A jboss-deployment-structure.xml must be defined inside of the top-level deployment. That is, if you are deploying a WAR file directly, it may contain a descriptor. If you package the WAR inside of an EAR file, you need to move the content of the descriptor and define it inside of the jboss-deployment-structure.xml of the EAR file.

You need to go with a sub-deployment:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
     <sub-deployment name="myapp.war">
       <dependencies>
         <module name="org.javassist" export="true" />
         <module name="org.apache" export="true"/>
         <module name="org.antlr" export="true"/>
         <module name="org.dom4j" export="true"/>
         <module name="org.apache" export="true"/>
         <module name="org.hibernate" export="true"/>
       </dependencies>
     </sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

There is a good description of on the JBoss Docs
