7.5. Define an External JBoss Module Directory

Procedure 7.3. Set the JBOSS_MODULEPATH Environment Variable

• To specify one or more external module directories, define the JBOSS_MODULEPATH environment variable.
  For Linux, use a colon to delimit a list of directories. For example:

  Example 7.5. JBOSS_MODULEPATH environment variable

  export JBOSS_MODULEPATH=EAP_HOME/modules/:/home/username/external/modules/directory/

  For Windows, use a semicolon to delimit a list of directories. For example:

  Example 7.6. JBOSS_MODULEPATH environment variable

  SET JBOSS_MODULEPATH=EAP_HOME\modules\;D:\JBoss-Modules\

Procedure 7.4. Set the JBOSS_MODULEPATH Variable in the Startup Configuration File

• If you prefer not to set a global environment variable, you can set the JBOSS_MODULEPATH variable in the JBoss EAP startup configuration file. If you are running a standalone server, this is the EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.conf file. If the server is running in a managed domain, this is the EAP_HOME/bin/domain.conf file.
  The following is an example of the command that sets the JBOSS_MODULEPATH variable in the standalone.conf file:

  Example 7.7. standalone.conf entry

  JBOSS_MODULEPATH="EAP_HOME/modules/:/home/username/external/modules/directory/"
