I might have forgotten just how effective this feature is but IIRC it  
only works for modules, not individual jars.  So you would replace  
the webservices-common configuration with another one that's the same  
except for replacing woodstox with the other 2 jars.

Have you tried this and it really works with jars not just configs?   
If so I'm afraid you'd still have to replace the config to get 2 jars  
instead of one.

hope this helps

I am also trying to use this feature.  One question tho, what if I want 
to substitute one module with 2 modules.  For instance, we use woodstox 
as the stax impl, but a user may want to plugin in their own stax impl 
which has 2 jars.  How would that scenario work?

I tried to only specify one of the 2 stax impl jars but we seem to get a 
server startup failure which I haven't looked into.

Let me know any comments you might have.

Thanks, Lin

They let you substitute one module for another.  So for instance if  
you want to have Firebird as your default database you could create a  
new module system-database-firebird with appropriate rar  
configuration and timer gbeans and put

org.apache.geronimo.configs/system-database//car=org.ashish.configs/ 
system-database-firebird/2.0/car

and then all the modules that depend on the system-database module  
would instead depend on your system-database-firebird module.

Another place you might want to use this is to change the security  
setup to use for instance an ldap login for the admin realm.

the client_ one applies to javaee app clients.

thanks
