Setting Up JBoss

Hello There,

Hope everyone is doing great, me too.!!

Been in new assignment from few days, so thought could give some work for my brain.. to refurbish my JBoss ideas..!!

Started with JBoss Installation and Starting Up..!!

You will find this very simple though, thought of sharing with you in case if you find this challenging.;)

Step 1. Download JBoss Package (.zip) file from http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/

I downloaded : http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.zip as it is latest.

Step 2 : Copy the file to desired location and Unzip it.

Step 3 : Installation is Completed.

Step 4 : To Sample Start up, go to Unzipped JBoss Directory and Open the Gates of bin Directory.

Step 5 : Copy the PATH till here and navigate to bin directory from Command Prompt ( => Start-> Run-> CMD) by command cd <PATH to bin directory)

Step 6 : Once in bin directory, execute standalone.bat or standalone.sh in case if you do not have Windows Box.

Step 7 : Hold On..!!, You Should Have JAVA Installed Before You Introduce Yourself with JBoss.

Step 8 : After you execute standalone.bat file, your eyes will witness following output.

ces are passive or on-demand)

Step 9 : As it says, Admin console Listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990/ go to this URL on your browser, do not try to click this URL right away, you have not installed the JBoss yet.!!

Here you can see the console of JBoss Application Server, which says to add user first then you will be able to see the complete console.

And to Add user we need to execute the add-user.bat script in bin directory, lets try that..!!

After you add, there will be a link to refresh the configuration - you got to click that.





C:\SandBox\AppServers\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin>add-user.bat

What type of user do you wish to add?
 a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)
 b) Application User (application-users.properties)

(a): a

Enter the details of the new user to add.
Realm (ManagementRealm) :
Username : shailesh
Password :
Re-enter Password :
About to add user 'shailesh' for realm 'ManagementRealm'
Is this correct yes/no? yes
Added user 'shailesh' to file 'C:\SandBox\AppServers\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\standa
lone\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
Added user 'shailesh' to file 'C:\SandBox\AppServers\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\domain
\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
Press any key to continue . . .

Enter your username and password created in above step, you can make your machine to remember the same till you brainwash him.

Once you login, you will be able to see the page, little familiar from last versions I have worked but very much different in looks, RedHat has changed the Application Server in whole, time to explore it..

Try dropping an application in the deployment folder of standalone profile and try to access.

Its your homework too, explore the same, do it and share your ideas here, you are very welcome to post comments, feedback's about the post and suggestions are very much welcome.

I will end the session here now, and will come back with more goodies of tips and technologies with all that tricks very soon in blog pages.

Take Care, 
Shailesh Dyade.
