The more I read about deploying ears and wars on JBoss the more confused I become. Apparently the deployers change on every major version.
What I'd like to do is to define an MBean or whatever with an xml snippet in the deploy folder which tell JBoss6 to fetch an ear or war from a remote URL like a jenkins artifact url or from a nexus repository.
The background is to keep the big binary blobs out of our cfengine configuration repository. This also means that copying a new ear in the deploy folder does not work, because cfengine checks every hour and restores the config if it has changed. With the xml-config file, we can undeploy and redeploy through JMX to reload new test versions (which always are on the same url in jenkins) or from the released versions from nexus.
So does anybody know where there is an example of how to achieve this?
thanks

I have two war files msg-producer and msg-consumer. How to deploy these two war files onto jboss 6.4.0 simultaneously?
currently deploying one war file like this:
copy war file into EAP\standalone\deployments folder
Run standalone.bat from EAP-6.4.0\bin.
Yes, you can deploy two or multiple WAR files into EAP\standalone\deployments folder.
Each web application will have a different context root, using context root you can access the application.
Yes, You can deploy two or more WAR/EAR files in the JBoss Application server.
Please go through the $JBOSS_ROOT/standalone/deployments/README.txt
There are two different modes 1. auto-deploy mode and 2. manual deploy mode
Manual deployment relies on a system of marker
files, with the user's addition or removal of a marker file serving as a sort
of command telling the scanner to deploy, undeploy or redeploy content.
Auto-deploy mode: The scanner will directly monitor the deployment content,
automatically deploying new content and redeploying content whose timestamp
has changed.
Read the README.txt for more details.
The simplest way I recommend is
Login the JBoss admin console
Under deployments tab, click on "add" and select the required msg-producer and msg-consumer war files. "Enable" checkbox to be selected.
Access the application http://localhost(or_servername):8080/contextroot/
I am (finally) upgrading from JBoss5.1 to Wildfly 9.0.2.Final (standalone). I am trying to learn how to redeploy a zipped EAR via scp, hoping to have it picked up by the deployment scanner. Per the documentation, all I have to do is set auto-deploy-zipped="true" in standalone.xml (in the deployment descriptor), then copy the .ear into the deployments folder. However, when I do so the scanner places a 'failed' file in the deployments folder with this message:
"There is already a deployment called EAR with the same runtime name EAR.ear"
It sounds like it will not automatically redeploy. I tried adding a signal file named Ear.ear.dodeploy to deployments, but this made no change.
I am able to deploy the EAR via the administration console, but I'm hoping to 'save time' with this scp approach. Hasn't saved time yet! :)
Thanks for any help.

I figured this out. It turns out that the auto-deploy scheme won't work if you originally deployed the .ear via the administration console. The fix was simply to remove the .ear via the administration console, then take the steps indicated above. Now it deploys and redeploys as expected.
I'm trying to use Openshift to host my java webapps. The problem I am running into is every time I go to my application "http://omniticketmvc-leviliester.rhcloud.com/" it takes me to a "Welcome to your JBossEWS (Apache/Tomcat) application on OpenShift".
I thought maybe it was because my project had some sort of default .war that was being deployed instead of the one I wanted. To try to confirm that I followed this guide made by to deploy a pre-compiled War file. https://www.openshift.com/kb/kb-e1088-how-to-deploy-pre-compiled-java-applications-war-and-ear-files-onto-your-openshift-gear .
As you can imagine that did not work. The guide implies that I should be able to find my webapp running at app-domain.rhcloud.com/mywebsite with "mywebsite" being the name of the war file my project created. In this scenario my Application war file is name "OmniTicket". I can find that war file on the server using ssh but the directory hierarchy is confusing to me.
I also tried looking in logs on the server but I don't see any errors to indicate a malfunction in spring or database connections. Any help would be appreciated. Specifically when I deploy my application to the Jboss Server without any obvious errors, why can't I get to the application root?
I should also mention it is a SpringMVC restful service application that works locally.
Try following steps:
Rename your war name to ROOT.war
Delete the src and pom.xml. If pom.xml is present then OpenShift would try to build the maven project
Place the war in deployments folder under your application root folder
Commit the war and push changes to application Git repository.
Check the logs using rhc tail command
I have created myProj.ear file and copied it into the deploy folder of the JBoss server.. How to run my project after starting the jBoss server?
I have been using war file and
deploying it in Tomcat till now to run
my project.... I am having a new
requirement to run the project in
JBoss. So, I converted my war file
into an ear file using the command Jar
-cvf myProj.ear ., Should I change anything in my project to run
the application in JBoss or just
copying my .ear file in to the jBoss
deploy folder is enough?
JBoss normally support hot deployment - meaning that if your application was deployed correctly (watch the console), it can be accessed via the browser (if you have a UI) or via web services, managed beans or any other interface you have provided.You can see the status of your application on the JBoss Admin Console. You can reach it by typing the URL of your JBoss installation. If you run your vanilla JBoss locally, you should be able to find the console under http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console
To reiterate: there is no explicit startup necessary, JBoss handles it for you.
Deploying an application in JBoss is pretty straightforward. You just have to copy the EAR file to the deploy directory in the 'server configuration' directory of your choice. Most people deploy it to the 'default' configuration, by copying the EAR file to the JBOSS_DIR/jboss-as/server/default/deploy directory.
Once copied, just run run.sh from bin, you can use the following params to bind it to an ip (-b) or binding it to anything other port (-Djboss.service.binding.set)
./run.sh -b 9.xxx.xxx.xxx -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-01
Once you run it, Look at the console for error message. If everything goes fine you'd see "Started J2EE application" after couple of seconds.
If there are any errors or exceptions, make a note of the error message. Check that the EAR is complete and inspect the WAR file and the EJB jar files to make sure they contain all the necessary components (classes, descriptors,
jboss-deployment-structure.xml etc.).
You can safely redeploy the application if it is already deployed. To undeploy it you just have to remove the archive from the deploy directory. There’s no need to restart the server in either case. If everything seems to have gone OK, then point your browser at the application URL.
http://localhost:8080/xyz
I'm deploying my application to Tomcat, which currently involves uploading a ~40MB war file to a remote server.
Often the changes within the war only affect jars and static content which account for maybe 2 - 3MB's. Is there some tooling I can integrate with my Ant script that can accurately detect the changes to the war and give me a smaller subset to upload?
I ended up writing an ant task to copy the relevant portions of the app, zip them up and deploy them on the server.
Simple, but effective.
