EJB3 in JBossAS 4.0.4.GA

The EJB3 preview is only available from the jboss-4.0.x-installer.jar (currently jboss-4.0.4.GA-Patch1-installer.jar), and requires Java5 to run. As of the 4.0.4.GA release the installer can be run as a GUI or from the command line. Installing EJB3 from the command line entails

java -jar jboss-4.0.4.GA-Patch1-installer.jar -installGroup ejb3|ejb3-clustered installpath=root-dir-for-install

The two installer profiles that support ejb3 are:

• ejb3 - a base profile supporting EJB3 with webservice support.

• ejb3-clustered - an extension of the ejb3 profile that adds clustering support.

An example of running the installer from the command line to install the ejb3 profile is:

[starksm@banshee9100 Releases]$ java -jar jboss-4.0.4.GA-Patch1-installer.jar -installGroup ejb3 installpath=/tmp/jboss-4.0.4.GA-ejb3
