How to detect if JBoss is installed on a Windows

[rootme]

Hi,

I need to develop an installer on windows which at some point need to verify if JBOSS is installed and its deployment type (standalone/cluster).

Where can I find this information? Does JBOSS have any registry entry ? In what configuration file should I check for the deployment type.

Thanks,
Bianca

Hi,

I understood the install part. Thanks,

But how to detect the type (jboss.server.name): default (standalone), etc.
Is this written in a configuration file ? If I unzip jboss I have default,, all, minimal ... so which one can I use as the actual configuration?

Thanks,
Bianca

The "default", "all" and "minimal" are shipped by JBoss by default. However, the end user can just rename them as they please.

A similar approach to look for specific files. For ex: the cluster configuration will have a cluster-service.xml file in the deploy folder of the server. This can give you an idea (though not a perfect solution) whether the existing installation has enabled the cluster service.
