Document URL: http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Web_Framework_Kit/2.2/html/Snowdrop_User_Guide/ch02s04s02.html (note this is link for WFK 2.2 because the WFK 2.3 is not available yet) Section Number and Name: 2.4.2. Installation on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 Describe the issue: Snowdrop installation process has changed for EAP 6.1.0 compared to EAP 6.0.1. The location has changed, it is not `$JBOSS_HOME/modules/' anymore, for EAP 6.1.0 it is `$JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base'. Suggestions for improvement: Change that particular sentence to something like this: `Create the subsystem and Spring modules in JBoss AS7 by copying the contents of the module-deployer directory and one of the module-spring-2.5/, module-spring-3/ or module-spring-3.2/ directories in the $JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base directory of your JBoss Application Server installation.'
Are you sure it belongs to the base layer?
Not completely, but if you install it there, it works. I searched the documentation for the guidance, I found this: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/Install_a_Global_Valve.html As far as I understand it, the static modules should be copied to $JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base for EAP 6.1.0.
Hm, the snowdrop installer also seems to be putting this into /modules/system/layers/base so I guess it's OK https://github.com/TejasM/snowdrop-install/blob/master/pom.xml#L132
In reply to the description: Please note, all the WKF 2.3 guides are available at http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/index.html#Red_Hat_JBoss_Web_Framework_Kit Note the change from "JBoss_Web_Framework_Kit" to "Red_Hat_JBoss_Web_Framework_Kit"
