WildFly Modular Service Container Programmatic Access

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.msc</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-msc</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.6.Final-redhat-1</version>
</dependency>

The following is needed for org.jboss.as.server.CurrentServiceContainer:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.as</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-as-server</artifactId>
    <version>7.5.9.Final-redhat-2</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

It is particularly important to declare the org.jboss.as.jboss-as-server dependency as provided, and to use the classes deployed within the WildFly instance, because otherwise

ServiceContainer sc = CurrentServiceContainer.getServiceContainer();

will return null.

For the code to work, the following module dependency must be added to the module.xml or jboss-deployment-structure.xml of the deployment artifact:

<dependencies>
    <module name="org.jboss.as.server"/>
</dependencies>
