9.4. Install a Global Valve

Global valves must be packaged and installed as static modules in JBoss EAP 6. This task shows how to install the module.

Pre-requisities:

The valve must already be created and packaged in a JAR file.
A module.xml file must already be created for the module.
Refer to Section 7.1.1, “Modules” for an example of module.xml file.

Procedure 9.1. Install a Global Module

Create module installation directory
A directory for the module to be installed in must be created in the modules directory of the application server.
```
EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/MODULENAME/main
```
```
$ mkdir -P EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/MODULENAME/main
```

Copy files

Copy the JAR and module.xml files to the directory created in step 1.

$ cp MyValves.jar module.xml EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/MODULENAME/main

The valve classes declared in the module are now available to be configured in the web subsystem.
