Overview

WildFly class loading relies on modules that have to define explicit dependencies on other modules. This model is different from the previous EAP 5 hierarchical class loading model. The implementation of the modular class loading system is provided by the jboss-modules library.

Class Loading Precedence

WildFly adds module dependencies for a JEE deployment in a very specific order, starting from the highest priority to the lowest priority:

  1. System Dependencies - these are the dependencies that are automatically added by the container. For more details see implicit dependencies.
  2. User Dependencies - these are the dependencies that are added through jboss-deployment-structure.xml, through the Dependencies: manifest entry for modules or through Class-Path: for JAR files.
  3. Local Resources - class files packaged inside the deployment itself (example, classes from WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib in a WAR file.
  4. Inter-Deployment Dependencies - dependencies on other deployments in an EAR deployment. This can include classes in an EAR's lib directory or classes defined in other EJB JARs.
