If application server instances reside on different machines ?
I mainly want to know the configurations guide on the jboss eap server side.
I wrote this how-to a while ago on our project wiki: JBoss AS instances in Domain mode with mod_cluster load balancer. Please, check it out and ask away if it didn't help.

I have just started working with jboss eap 7 application servers, so I would like to have an environment where I can carry out various tests, I have created a small laboratory with standalone and cluster included, but I would like to have some applications where I can test deployments, status monitoring and the server logs and the applications, I have a graylog for that purpose of the logs, but I just need the ear war applications etc... where could I download some sample applications to deploy in my laboratory?
Thanks in advance
You should use JBoss EAP QuickStarts https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts
I'm trying to migrate a web app from Websphere to JBoss.
I believe the first step is to port the configurations of the server. The main configuration file in Jboss is standalone.xml (or domain.xml for running multiple instances of a server).
Could you tell me what the equivalent of standalone.xml is in websphere ?
Thank you for your time.
There is no direct equivalent. WebSphere is administered via the administration console. If you run WebSphere Express you can connect directly to the app. server's administration port. If you run Network Deployment, you connect to the deployment manager console (DMGR).
The console has all the configuration. They are stored in many XML files, that can be a pain to use directly. Much easier with the console.
The default console port is 9060 (http) or 9043 (https).
URL:
http://yourserver:9060/ibm/console
https://yourserver:9043/ibm/console
See this technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21155098
for a bit more information.
You can look at this migration guide for JBoss AS 7.

We need to setup JBOSS Server , Load Balancer for our Java/J2EE application in production server for approx 5000 users.
Can someone please elaborate on infrastructure required , like suitable Hardware ?
What kind on Web Server , then Application server like JBOSS EAP , How to setup load balancer , enable audit logs. Configure clustering, fail over and load balancing. Configure Web Connectors and web properties in JBoss applications.
High availability and disaster recovery. These topics are very important.
I am actually a developer , have never configured deployment environment in production as an Administrator. I tried to search similar post , but got no results. Please guide the architecture as guideline. I will explore it further
You have asked about a huge range of topics here. You can find guides on how to set up and configure most of them in the JBoss EAP documentation, which is available here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/
good day.
I am trying to enable hot deploy on my JBoss 4.0.
I have tried to access to localhost:9990, but it doesn't work.
Is there any alternative way to enable it?
Thanks in advance.
JBoss 4.0 contradicts to port 9990.
The port 9990 is the management console access for JBossAS7 and WildFly.
JBoss 4.0 might have a JMX console which is accessible via 8080.
You can simpel use localhost:8080 and navigate from the welcome page.
Note that hot deploy is not recommended for productional JBossAS4/5 instances because of class loading issues, OOM errors.
You might use it for development.
Also JBossAS4 does not have managed deployments, simple drop the file to server/yourProfile/deploy and it will be picked up and deployed.
Recently we have moved our application from websphere to jboss application server.
IBM Http server (IHS) has front ended(proxy) the websphere application server.
Now we want to make changes to httpd.conf to make the IHS to front end the jboss. So whats the configuration to be done at IHS server to act like reverse proxy for JBOSS application server?
There's really no reason to do this, because IBM HTTP Server is only ever supported when it's used with IBM software that it was bundled with.
If you do do it, you're nearly alone in doing so and w/o the assistance of IBM.
Technically, you could use mod_proxy_balancer and mod_proxy_http just like any other Apache-based server, but they're not as well maintained because they are only used in one very obscure/withdrawn IBM product that bundles IHS. It's a basic proxy configuration for Apache and not really worth going into detail here.
The best option for JBoss AS/Wildfly application server proxy for you is Apache HTTP Server with mod_cluster.
Community
You can give it a try with Fedora: mod_cluster package
And there is an example on how to compile it from sources and configure it with Apache HTTP Server from scratch: example, recorded terminal session. It also operates on Windows and Solaris.
Why mod_cluster over mod_jk/mod_proxy?
The main benefit of mod_cluster over mod_proxy*balancer / mod_jk solutions is that both JBoss AS and Wildfly contain mod_cluster subsystems that automatically report deployed contexts and life cycle events to the mod_cluster balancer in Apache HTTP Server. JBoss AS/Wildfly workers join Apache HTTP Server balancer automatically, you don't have to reconfigure anything in your httpd.conf nor restart httpd when you add another JBoss AS/Wildfly worker.
Current load report is also a part of these service messages. One may use several different load metrics within JBoss AS/Wildfly, e.g. heap utilization, CPU load, number of currently open sessions, or one could easily implement a custom load metric.
The result is a high-throughput dynamic load balancer that takes into account actual utilization of your JBoss AS/Wildfly workers.
Commercial support
If you need a fully supported solution for mod_cluster balancer, both Red Hat JBoss Web Server, i.e. Apache HTTP Server, mod_cluster, OpenSSL, Tomcat 7, Tomcat 8, mod_jk, ModSecurity, and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP), i.e. application server built on Wildfly 10+ or AS 7+, entitle you to fully supported mod_cluster balancer fronting either Tomcat workers or EAP workers.
