1. Re: Understanding the deploy directory
weston.price Dec 6, 2006 10:30 PM (in response to vk101)Best place to start with something like this is the Slimming JBoss page on the Wiki:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossASTuningSliming
Also, the JBossAS documentation gives a fairly decent explanation of the deployment directory.
http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/jboss4guide/r5/html/ch01.html#d0e523
The book JBoss 4.0 The Offical Guide provides a bit more in depth treatment of this subject as well. -
2. Re: Understanding the deploy directory
vk101 Dec 6, 2006 11:53 PM (in response to vk101)Thanks, those are really useful links.
I'm assuming that if you need to add a particular service, you do the opposite of what's specified in the Slimming wiki for removing it?
The reason I ask is because I'm missing my web-console, and I'd like to have it. According to that wiki, I'm guessing that I'd need to add server/slim/deploy/management/web-console.war.
Couple of issues:
1) Let's say I get my hands on the web-console.war by downloading it from somewhere, or getting a fellow developer to send it over...
My concern is that there might be compatibility issues, so how can I get the version of web-console.war that is compatible with my current installation of JBoss? (Or is this not an issue because it's just a WAR file and therefore able to be dropped into any JBoss version's deploy dir?) Is this really a concern?
Also, I don't see the web-console.war file anywhere in my JBOSS_HOME installation at all, so I can't copy-paste it from within my current installation into the deploy dir...
2) If I do get the web-console.war file, must it go under /deploy/management, or can it simply go under /deploy? What's the difference - is it just a way for organizing deployable archives, or is there some meaning to subdirectories of /deploy?
Does hot deploy work for any deployable archive under /deploy or any of its subdirectories?
3) With regards to JBoss 4.0 The Official Guide, I noticed that it was published in 2005/04/20...a year and a half ago for a product that evolves as quickly as JBoss. Is it still a relevant read, or is it mostly obsolete? (i.e. Read at your own risk!)
Or will is be relevant at least until JBoss 5.0 is released?
