Jboss only binding to local port

[machielr]

Hi All

I do not want to provide too much info, however to say the least I am a newbie on JBOSS (as in have not worked with jboss previously at all).


A task came to me after a lot of issues to setup jboss and jbossWS for the company as the java developers have decided to use this instead of glassfish which we are currently running.


I have managed to get jboss running on Redhat 4.7 (ES, 64bit) and after a lot of issues and struggling I also managed to get the WS installed (what a mission).

I now need to get the following resolved:

1. How do you stop and start the jboss without simply killing the process.

2. How do you deploy jar and war files on jboss

3. Currently I can only access (test) jboss on the local machine using the browser and going to http://localhost:8080 etc.... How do I configure Jboss and WS so that I can access it via a browser from another machine (desktop or laptop for instance) via the web browsers?


thank you in advance for assistance.

regards

How do you stop and start the jboss without simply killing the process.

Ctrl + C from the console does a clean shutdown. You can also you the %JBOSS_HOME%/bin/shutdown.sh to stop the server.

How do you deploy jar and war files on jboss

Place the jar/war in the %JBOSS_HOME%/server/< serverName>/deploy folder.

3. Currently I can only access (test) jboss on the local machine using the browser and going to http://localhost:8080 etc.... How do I configure Jboss and WS so that I can access it via a browser from another machine (desktop or laptop for instance) via the web browsers?

Which version of JBoss AS? See this FAQ http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10179
