Deploying JDBC Driver in JBoss Maven Plugin

| Comments

With release of jboss-as maven plugin version 7.0.1.Final the new goal deploy-artifact is added. It allows to deploy additional artifacts to JBoss server, like JDBC DB driver JAR. After trying do deploy JDBC driver with jboss-as maven plugin using following code in pom.xml I received the NullPointerException in Maven build. Here is part of maven pom.xml used to deploy the driver to jboss:

      </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>


In the plugin’s manual at http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/7/plugins/maven/latest/examples/deployment-example.html it said

The artifact must be already listed as a dependency in the projects pom.xml

but it do not tells in which scope the driver’s JAR have to be: it have to be in compile or runtime scope in order to work. I had it in provided scope. After changing the scope of dependency it works fine.

Here is full stacktrace of the error I received:
