    Documentation about setup

      Hi,

      I am confused...

      I've dealt with Weblogic 8.1, dealt with Tomcat 5.x. Both (even though Tomcat is free) have docs that explain to you step by step how-tos.

      Which xml file do I need to edit to do this or that and what the attributes are and what they mean.

      So, naturally, I thought that if I get documentation for JBoss 3.x, I'd get the same... Well, I looked through the table of contents and I don't see anything about how to set up JBoss with Tomcat to run my web apps. Where do I put the context.xml file? Where do I drop my war files?

      So, at this point, I don't know if I should be that documentation or not. If it's not going to tell me how to deploy web application on JBoss, then I really don't need it at this point.

      Is there any normal Tomcat style how-tos available anywhere? For starters with JBoss, I just want to get my existing apps to work on JBoss. Then, I can start messing with JBoss's EJBs and so on.

      Is there any documentation that is dedicated to explaining how to deploy web applications on JBoss?

      Any ideas or direction would be really appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Yaakov.

          Here is the documentation that you need :-

          Install a JDK on your machine to a directory with no spaces in any of the directory names.

          Set a JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JDK directory.

          Unzip a JBoss binary distribution to a directory with no spaces in any of the names.

          Execute the batch file {jboss.home}/bin/run.bat (With no arguments)

          Try connecting to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console to check that you can reach the admin console.

          If your web app is in a war called MyApp.war copy the war to {jboss.home}/server/default/deploy

          Connect to your web app http://localhost:8080/MyApp

            That's not documentation. There is a lot more to it. Ever configured Tomcat and the context for a particular application? Or are you saying that it's not possible to do this in JBoss :-)?

            Common! Serious replies would help much more than this. Yes, I figured out as much as you wrote. I need real documentation, not "let's see if server is working 4 steps".
