Introduction

The Embedded APIs to JBoss Application Server provide a code-based analouge for tasks ordinarily accomplished through traditional command-line and filesystem operations.  This guide will provide a few of the most often-used examples.

Examples

Creating a Server (assuming you have all dependencies on your ClassPath) and pointing it to JBOSS_HOME

JBossASEmbeddedServer server = JBossASEmbeddedServerFactory.createServer();
server.getConfiguration().jbossHome("/path/to/jbossHome");

Deploying Files or URLs

File[] files = null; // Assume you've got a bunch
URL[] urls = null; // Keep assuming
server.deploy(files);
server.deploy(urls);

Deploying a ShrinkWrap Archive

String name = "slsb.jar";
JavaArchive archive = ShrinkWrap.create(name, JavaArchive.class).addClasses(OutputBean.class,
      OutputLocalBusiness.class);
log.info(archive.toString(true));
// Deploy
server.deploy(archive);

Making Your Own Deployable Type

// If you can represent it as a URL, you can deploy it in EmbeddedAS
final Deployable deployable =new Deployable()
{
   @Override
   public URL getTarget()
   {
      return someUrlIHave;
   }
 };
server.deploy(deployable);
