Faster start for JBoss Server??

[brucespringfield]

It takes a while for the JBoss Server to start. Haven't timed it with a stop watch yet, but it seems to be atleast a few minutes.

Is there a faster way to start as well stop JBoss?

Which version of JBoss? For me an out-of-box installation of 4.2.1 takes less than a minute to start. Have you deployed any of your own applications?

Also, have a look at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossASTuningSliming for leaving out any applications that might not be of any use for you.

Thanks for the link! Will check it out! Running JBoss 4.2.1.GA

It takes about about 57 seconds for mine to start from an out-of box installation, but if you have to do it many times a day, it adds up.

Correction: out-of-box installation startup is 23 seconds. With my apps deployed, then it turns into 57 seconds.

Wow! that's fast. On my 1GB vista home premium, JBoss 4.0.5.GA AS takes 57seconds with all applications removed and ~ 2minutes 20seconds with my application deployed.

I guess, the startup time increases/varies when your application is deployed. Does your application do anything on startup? Maybe some database activity or any other such initialization which might be taking its own time.
