Description of problem:

When trying to use the cas-client-core-3.2.1.jar of /modules/system/layers/gatein/org/jasig/cas/client/main/ in an application by defining dependency in the jboss-deployement-structure.xml file, a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException exception is thrown for the missing dependency of javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener in the cas-client-core-3.2.1.jar

Directly having the client jar in the application's /WEB-INF/lib/ works fine since the web-subsystem wraps the javax.sevlet.api.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

- JBoss Portal Platform (6.1)
- cas-client-core-3.2.1.jar


Actual results:

========================================

========================================

Expected results:

It should be possible to re-use the  /modules/system/layers/gatein/org/jasig/cas/client/main/cas-client-core-3.2.1.jar  from the application using the jboss-deployment-structure.xml


Additional info:

As a workaround one has to include javax.servlet.api as a dependency in the module.xml of  /modules/system/layers/gatein/org/jasig/cas/client/main

OR

Create a custom module for cas-client-core-3.2.1.jar and then include javax.servlet.api as a dependency in its module.xml.
