adding jars as deployment in WildFly 10

What I got the way to deploy jars on WildFly 10 server rather than making part of the war file is define below:

1) Put all your jars in wildfly\modules\system\layers\base\com\abcProject\mainand place a file named module.xml with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.3" name="com.abcProject"><resources>    <resource-root path="aspectjrt-1.6.8.jar"/>    <resource-root path="aspectjweaver-1.6.8.jar"/>    <resource-root path="aopalliance-1.0.jar"/>    <resource-root path="guava-18.0.jar"/></resources><dependencies>    <module name="javaee.api"/>    <module name="org.apache.commons.logging"/>    <module name="org.jboss.vfs"/></dependencies>

Where resources are all those jars present in your abcProject/main folder and dependencies are all those jars on which your jars are dependent and are present in wildfly\modules\system\layers\base folders.

2) Then in your project add a file named jboss-deployment-structure.xml in WEB-INF folder with the following conents:

<?xml version="1.0"?><jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><deployment>    <dependencies>        <module name="com.abcProject" >            <imports>                <include path="META-INF**"/>                <include path="org**"/>            </imports>        </module>    </dependencies></deployment>

3) Now set scope of all those dependencies in your pom files as provided that you have placed jars in abcProject/main folder.

That's all now run your project it will get all jars from server and will not include in war file during compilation.

To add external jars as a "library" in Jboss/Wildfly, you can define it as a module in your installation, or add it to an existing module.
