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?

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.x
