While there are similarities to JBoss 5.1 installation, the file locations have changed in some instances. Precise and step-by-step installation guide.

OpenXava 4.2.3 released. Deploy your OpenXava application on JBoss. July 15, 2015. In order to help you to deploy your OpenXava application on JBoss we have create a new guide in the wiki: Guide to deploy OpenXava applications on JBoss. We hope it would be useful for you. It probably goes without saying that the first thing you’ll need is a working installation of Java. JBoss 4.0.2 is compatible with J2SE 1.4 or higher. We use J2SE 1.4.2 in this book, although nothing should prevent you from running the examples in Java 5.

Previous Step in Zip Installation

Backup any modified configuration files and deployments that may be reused in a later instance.

This section covers the steps required to uninstall a Zip installation of JBoss EAP 6.

Procedure 4.3. Uninstall JBoss EAP 6 (Zip installation)

Go to the directory where you had extracted the JBoss EAP 6 folder from the Zip file.
Delete the installation directory.
JBoss EAP 6 installs in a single directory when you use the Zip installation method. Delete the installation directory to uninstall JBoss EAP 6.
Optional: Delete any initialization scripts you created.
If you created initialization scripts or other scripts which depended upon JBoss EAP 6 being installed on your computer, delete them.

JBoss EAP 6 is uninstalled from the server.

CHAPTER 2

This chapter provides instructions for installing and configuring the JBoss Application Server. It includes these topics:

Before you install the JBoss Application Server, you need to have an up-to-date version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your machine. Be sure to install the JDK and not the JRE.

NOTE: You need to have JDK 1.4.2.

Ultrasonic transducer driver amplifier circuit manual. To install the JDK:

Download the JDK from the Sun web site to a directory on your machine.
Navigate to the directory and run the Setup program.

Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the location of the JDK:

Platform	Instructions
Linux	Export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdkversion. To avoid having to set JAVA_HOME each time you open a new shell to start the server, you should add the export statement to the .bashrc file in the user home directory. For example:
Windows	Open Control Panel>System. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. In the System variable section, add a variable called JAVA_HOME and specify the target directory for the JDK as the value.

Set the PATH environment variable to point to the bin directory of the JDK:

Platform	Instructions
Linux	To avoid having to set the PATH each time you open a new shell to start the server, you should add the export statement to the .bashrc file in the user home directory. For example:
Windows	Open Control Panel>System. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. In the System variable section, add a variable called PATH and specify the bin directory for the JDK as the value.

Verify that the JDK is working properly and make sure that the java executable is in your path.
To do this, you can execute java -version at a command prompt. If the JDK installation was successful, you should see output similar to the following:

Configuring the JDK to work with exteNd Director Before deploying an exteNd Director project to JBoss, you need to make sure that the exteNd copies of these JAR files are available to the Java runtime:

Phaos_Crypto_FIPS.jar
Phaos_Security_Engine.jar
Phaos_SSLava.jar

Copy these files from this exteNd directory:

NOTE: If you are developing on a Windows platform and deploying to a server running on UNIX, copy the Phaos_Crypto_FIPS_UNIX.jar from the Commonlibother directory to the JRE directory. Rename it Phaos_Crypto_FIPS.jar.

The JBoss Application Server is available in source and binary form. If you are new to JBoss, you should plan on using the binary form, since it runs out of the box. The binary distribution is available in these file formats:

.zip
.tar.gz
.bz2

When you download the product, select the file format that is most suitable for your platform.

To install the JBoss Application Server:

Download the product from the JBoss web site.
Extract the server to a folder of your choice.
Once it's been extracted, the folder name should be jboss-4.0.x. The version number suffix will, of course, vary depending on which version you installed.
NOTE: Be sure not to extract JBoss to a directory that contains spaces in the path. Spaces may cause problems for the JBoss installation.

This section provides instructions for starting and stopping the JBoss server.

Starting the server

To start the JBoss Application Server:

Navigate to the bin directory under the main JBoss directory (jboss-4.0.x).
Execute the run command:
On Windows, you need to execute run.bat. On Linux and UNIX, you need to execute run.sh.

When the server starts, it deploys and starts all components, logging output to the command window. If the server starts successfully, you should see output similar to the following at the end of the log:

Adding parameters to the run command If you issue the run command without any parameters, the default configuration for the server is used. To use one of the other configurations (minimal, all, or a custom configuration), you need to add the -c parameter. For example, to start the server with the all configuration, you would use this command:

If you developed a custom server configuration, you would specify the name of this configuration with the -c parameter. For example, if you created a custom configuration called exteNd, you would start the server with this command:

To see a listing of available start-up options, add the -h parameter:

Verifying that the server is working To make sure that the JBoss server is running properly, you can test the server with this URL:

NOTE: 8080 is the default port for the JBoss server. The default HTTP server URL in JBoss points to the ROOT.war in the jbossweb-tomcat50.sar.

Stopping the server

To stop the JBoss server:

Navigate to the bin directory under the main JBoss directory (jboss-4.0.x).
Execute the shutdown command with the -S parameter:
On Windows, you need to execute shutdown.bat. On Linux and UNIX, you need to execute shutdown.sh.

You can also shutdown the server by typing Ctrl-C in a command window.<
