Scope

The JBossApplicationServer integration of the JBoss Bootstrap project addesses all AS-specific server and configuration constructs.  "spi-as" is therefore the interface used by launchers of AS, including the Standalone Main and AS Embedded.  In addition, the AS implementation of Bootstrap is responsible for:

• Exposing ProfileService @ManagementObjects and @ManagementProperties of the Server and ServerConfig
• Initializing all requisite system properties during server start, cleaning up upon shutdown
  
• Firing Kernel Events in tandem with lifecycle

This differs from the legacy implementation by:

• Not addressing JVM shutdown/halt.  This is a function of whomever has started the JVM, not the Server.
• Leaving out a "Life Thread".  The server itself should not keep JVMs from shutting down if all other non-daemon Threads are complete.

Modules

Sample Code

Create and Start a new AS instance

// Create the server
final JBossASServer server = new JBossASServerImpl();
// Set JBOSS_HOME
server.getConfiguration().jbossHome("file:/path/to/jboss/home");
// Start
server.start();
