I’m using jBoss AS 7 to publish my various projects, and all of them use the Jersey API, so instead of deploying it in every project I wanted to create a module for it. For that, I created the folder JBOSS_HOME\modules\com\sun\Jersey\main and in this folder I placed the Jersey jar’s and the file module.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.sun.jersey">
<properties>
<property name="jboss.api" value="private"/>
</properties>
<resources>
<resource-root path="jersey-bundle-1.12.jar"/>
<resource-root path="asm-3.1.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jackson-core-asl-1.9.2.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jackson-jaxrs-1.9.2.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.2.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jackson-xc-1.9.2.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jersey-client-1.12.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jersey-core-1.12.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jersey-json-1.12.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jersey-server-1.12.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jersey-servlet-1.12.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jettison-1.1.jar"/>
<resource-root path="jsr311-api-1.1.1.jar"/>
</resources>
<dependencies>
<module name="javax.api"/>
<module name="org.jboss.staxmapper"/>
<module name="org.jboss.as.controller"/>
<module name="org.jboss.as.server"/>
<module name="org.jboss.modules"/>
<module name="org.jboss.msc"/>
<module name="org.jboss.logging"/>
<module name="org.jboss.vfs"/>
</dependencies>
</module>
To prevent the use of the jBoss JAX-RS I removed from the file JBOSS_HOME\standalone\standalone.xml the following lines:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jaxrs:1.0"/>
<extension module="org.jboss.as.jaxrs"/>
In MyProjectEAR\META-INF folder I created the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file with the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="com.sun.jersey" slot="main" >
<imports>
<include path="META-INF/**"/>
<include path="**"/>
</imports>
</module>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
My MyProject\webContent\web.xml file is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
<display-name> MyProject </display-name>
<servlet>
<description>
</description>
<servlet-name>Jersey Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<description></description>
<param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
<param-value>com.MyProject.service.REST_Application</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Jersey Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/jaxrs/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
My manifest file present at MyProject\webContent\META-INF\ MANIFEST.MF is this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path:
When i tried to deploy the project I got the following error:

* EDIT : * If I place the Jersey API in JBOSS_HOME\modules\com\sun\jsf-impl\main and change the corresponding module.xml everything works ok. What does this location have different?
You need to specify a dependency on your module in the deployment.
META-INF\ MANIFEST.MF
Dependencies: com.sun.jersey
