To Deploy to JBoss

Installing JBoss Application Server

You can download JBoss Application Server from http://www.jboss.com, and install it from there.

To open JBoss Application Server:

• Enter the URL http://localhost:8080 in your Web browser, where 8080 is the default port.

Administering JBoss Application Server

JBoss Application Server provides a Web interface for administering the application server. This administration interface is called the JBoss console. To start the console:

• Enter http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/ in your Web browser, where 8080 is the default port.

Setting up JBoss Application Server

The JBoss Application Server provides deployment descriptors. These are packaged into the application archive (.ear) files when you generate EJBs using the Interface Mapping Toolkit. The deployment descriptors require some changes before generating EJBs. These changes are described below, in which JBOSS_HOME is the top-level directory of your JBoss installation, and default is the location of the default server configuration in your JBoss installation.

Starting and Stopping JBoss Application Server

You can start and stop JBoss Application Server from the JBoss console or from the command line, as follows.

:

• Run jboss_home\bin\run.bat to start it.
• Run jboss_home\bin\shutdown.bat -S to stop it.

Deploying the Resource Adapter

Resource adapters, named mfcobol*.rar, are supplied together with JBoss-specific deployment descriptors for using the resource adapters with the JBoss Application Server. The descriptors have names corresponding to the resource adapters, as follows:

• mfcobol-notx-ds.xml is the desciptor for the resource adapter mfcobol-notx.rar
• mfcobol-localtx-ds.xml is for mfcobol-localtx.rar
• mfcobol-xa-ds.xml is for mfcobol-xa.rar

To deploy a resource adapter:

1. Copy the appropriate .rar file into your JBoss deployment directory, which is by default jboss_home\server\default\deploy
2. Copy the corresponding deployment descriptor,*ds.xml , for the resource adapter into the same directory. For example, if you are deploying mfcobol-notx.rar, copy mfcobol-notx-ds.xml.

Deploying the Application .ear File

When you generate an application .ear file the JBoss Application Server requires that the .ear file contains deployment descriptors that specify deployment information about your application. When you use generate a client and EJB using the Interface Mapping Toolkit, these deployment descriptors are automatically created and packaged into the .ear.

To deploy your application .ear file:

1. Copy the application .ear file from the directory my-project\repos\my-service.deploy\my-service.ear into your JBoss deployment directory which is, by default, jboss_home\server\default\deploy

Logging

JBoss stores log files and traces by default in jboss_home\server\default\log\server.log

Configuring a JDBC Data Source for XA Transactions

If the application being deployed connects to a third party database, you will need to configure a JDBC data source and specify information such as the JNDI name of the data source. For an Oracle database, you edit the Oracle-supplied deployment descriptor oracle-xa-ds.xml. For full details see the JBoss administration documentation on configuring JDBC data sources.
