      Add the module org.apache.commons.beanutils

      <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.apache.commons.beanutils">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar"/>
        <!-- Insert resources here -->
    </resources>

    <dependencies>
        <module name="org.apache.commons.logging"/>
        <module name="org.apache.commons.collections"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>

      and the module org.apache.commons.digester

      <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.apache.commons.digester">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="commons-digester-2.1.jar"/>
        <!-- Insert resources here -->
    </resources>

    <dependencies>
        <module name="javax.api" export="false"/>
        <module name="org.apache.commons.beanutils"/>
        <module name="org.apache.commons.logging"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>

      Then, from any class from the digester module, the following expression

      this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanMap")

      gives a ClassNotFoundException whereas it should find the class.
