Objectives

You will be able to understand what is an J2EE Application Server

You will learn how to install the JBOSS AS You will learn how to manage the JBOSS AS

JBOSS AS

Division of Red Hat that develops software products

The trademark used for all the products that the group makes, and an application server.

JBoss Application Server, commonly abbreviated as JBoss AS.

JBOSS AS

JBOSS AS : Installing the JBOSS AS

Install the JDK# ./jdk-1_5_0_17-solaris-i586.sh

# JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk150_17

# PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Install the JBoss Application Server# mkdir /opt/jboss-server; cd /opt/jboss-server

# java –jar jboss-4.0.3SP1-installer.jar

Exploring the installation

/opt/jboss-server/jboss-4.0.3SP1/bin

/opt/jboss-server/jboss-4.0.3SP1/lib

/opt/jboss-server/jboss-4.0.3SP1/server

JBOSS Server Configuration

JBOSS AS : Container Arquitecture

Understanding server configuration

server/default/conf server/default/deploy server/default/deployers Server/default/lib

Understanding server/default/conf

Understanding server/default/conf

Understanding server/default/deploy

The deploy directory is where applications and services are deployed.

This is where you can deploy any application packages—for example, JAR, Web Archive (WAR), or Enterprise Archive (EAR)

Understanding server/default/deploy

The deployers directory contains all the JBoss AS services that are used to recognize

and deploy different application and archive types.

For example, the Tomcat container

Understanding server/default/lib

The lib directory holds server libraries that are shared across all services and applications within a configuration.

Understanding server/default generated directories

server/default/data server/default/log server/default/tmp Server/default/work

Starting the server

PATH=$PATH:/opt/jboss-server/jboss-4.0.3SP1/bin

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk15_12

PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

# ./run.sh –c default

Starting the server

Stoping the server

PATH=$PATH:/opt/jboss-server/jboss-4.0.3SP1/bin

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk15_12

PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

# ./shutdown.sh –S –server=jnp://<server_addr>:<server_port>
