How to enable valve in JBoss EAP 6

Issue

• How do I enable a valve in JBoss EAP 6?

• In previous versions of JBoss it was possible to configure Tomcat Valves by adding jar to $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE/lib and setting in:

  • JBoss EAP 4.x:
    • $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml
      or
    • $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/context.xml
  • JBoss EAP 5.x:
    • $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml
      or
    • $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE//deploy/jbossweb.sar/context.xml

  How can the same be achieved in JBoss EAP 6.x?

• We have a customised Valve class to whitelist specific paths in a request. Is it possible to make our application dependent on this module instead of loaded as global module?
