Adding MySql to JBoss 8.1 (Wildfly) - mysql

Question

So I have followed this tutorial: https://zorq.net/b/2011/07/12/adding-a-mysql-datasource-to-jboss-as-7/
I have done everything as described in the tutorial; yet I keep getting this error on start up:
14:42:19,442 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS014613: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([

]}

This is the structure of my modules dir in the Jboss folder: modules/com/mysql/main with two files module.xml and mysql-connector-java-5.1.34.jar
This is my module.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com.mysql">
<resources>
<resource-root path="mysql-connector-java-5.1.34.jar"/>
</resources>
<dependencies>
<module name="javax.api"/>
</dependencies>
</module>
I have also added the mysql jar in standalone/deployments
This is the configuration of my datasource and driver in my standalone.xml under standalone/configuration
<datasource jndi-name="java:/ExpensesDataSource" pool-name="ExpensesDataSourcePool" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/expenses</connection-url>
<driver>mysql</driver>
<security>
<user-name>root</user-name>
<password>root</password>
</security>
</datasource>
<driver name="mysql" module="com.mysql"/>

Answer 1

I found my error, I had to put my module.xml and jar under system modules instead of creating a new com folder
