The jboss::module defined type

This defined type can add and remove JBoss static modules. Static modules are predefined in the JBOSS_HOME/modules/ directory of the application server. Each sub-directory represents one module and contains one or more JAR files and a configuration file - module.xml.

More info on modules here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Development_Guide/chap-Class_Loading_and_Modules.html

  layer        => 'jdbc',

  ],
  dependencies => [
    'javax.transaction.api',
    'javax.api',
  ],
}

After processing of this module JBoss server will be automatically restarted, but only when changes occur.
