JBoss 3.x

JBoss 3.x is the leading open source J2EE application server.

Installation Instructions

Installation

1. Download and install a Java SDK, e.g. from java.sun.com
2. Download jboss from www.jboss.org. These instructions explain how to use the Jetty connector, (rather than tomcat).
3. Install jboss:
   

   $ cd /opt
   $ unzip jBoss-3.0.4.zip
   

4. Start jboss by running:
   

   $ cd /opt/jBoss-3.0.4/bin
   $ JAVA_HOME=<path_to_jdk> ./run.sh
   

   The following instructions assume that jboss is on the same machine as the Zeus Web Server and the jboss is a plain install using the default ports.

   You can then either use the gateway module or the jserv module to connect to jboss from Zeus:

   • Using mod_gateway, configure a map for /jmx-console to localhost:8080
   • Using mod_jserv, configure a servlet for /jmx-console to localhost:8009 using a context of jmx-console and ajpv13

5. You can then access the jmx-console of jboss though the zeus web server at /jmx-console

6. You will need to set up a gateway or jserv map for each servlet that you install on jboss.
