    Sakai 2.3 on JBoss - how to deploy?

    faiio

      Hello,

      I have tried successfully Sakai 2.3.x on Tomcat 5.5 but I need to
      finally deploy it into JBoss and I am a bit lost here. On Tomcat, maven
      puts files in the directories

      common/lib: JAR files (for Tomcat and applications)
      server/lib: JAR files (for Tomcat only)
      shared/lib: JAR files (for applications)
      webapps: WAR files (applications)
      components: component declarations? Empty directories with WEBAPPS subdirectories.

      My interpretation of JBoss documentation is that the mapping starts as

      TOMCAT JBOSS
      webapps -> deploy
      server/lib -> server/lib

      but then I got little idea about the rest. My thinking is that
      shared/lib would go to deploy but then I am doubtful on where to put the
      files deployed to common/lib and the components directory.

      Any clues? Do I have to do anything else besides placing the files in
      diferent places?

          Not sure what Sakai is entirely, but usually, you can get away with putting all related .jar files for a component in your .war file. If this doesn't work, then in server/default/lib . Better would be to create a .sar file with your files, if you're saavy.

            Hello

            I also trying to deploy Sakai on Jboss, and Five minutes ago I got a correct deploy. I don't know if this is the better configuracion, but is a good way to begin.

            The Sakai estructure:
            - I download the sakai-bin_2-3-0.tar.gz file.
            - Decompress the file
            . In the Sakai directory i found:


            - common/
            - components/
            - licenses/
            - server/
            - shared/
            - webapps/
            - ECLv1.txt


            Now, I put the directories as follows:

            - The WAR files in the webapps in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy (only the files, no the directory)
            - The "components" dir in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/
            - Create a sakai dir in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/
            - Copy the sakai properties in the sakai directory
            - You can found the sakai.properties file in
            /sakai-src/reference/docs/sakai.properties

            - Copy de JARs files of the "common, shared and server" directory in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib

            Finally, before to start the server you have to set the environment variable JAVA_OPTS as follows:

            export JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms512m -Xmx768m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=196m -XX:NewSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=384m"
