Waffle as a module in Jboss 7.1

Question

We are trying to migrate from tomcat to Jboss AS 7.1, but we have a problem with Waffle library we use for SSO.

we read that in order to use Waffle in jboss AS 7.1 we needed to create a module in Jboss with the following dependencies:

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.sso">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="Waffle-1.4.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="platform-gcp_1.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="jna-gcp_1.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="guava-r07-gcp_1.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="commons-logging-1.1.1.jar"/>
    </resources>

    <dependencies>
        <module name="javax.servlet.api" />      
    </dependencies>
</module>

and added the following dependencies to our jboss-deployment-structure.xml:

<dependencies>
   <module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters"/>
   <module name="com.sso"  export="TRUE" />
</dependencies>

but it seems like jboss is not finding all the classes inside the module because we are getting the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: waffle.spring.NegotiateSecurityFilt
erEntryPoint from [Module "deployment.Grc.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

Thanks a lot for the help.

UPDATE:

This is the whole exception:

Answer 1

In the end, it turns out there was no need to make any change to the configuration, it was a dumb error, the JBoss machine must belong to the domain for Waffle to work.

Thanks anyway.
