Confirming that JBoss is Installed and Running.

[joestagner]

After installing JBoss (at least on Linux) how do you confirm that JBoss is running ???

http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/

.... not only proves that your install is working, but is a fine example of application directory configuration (JSP & BEANS, etc)

NOTE: The docs and posts inticating http://localhost:8082 and http://localhost:8080/jboss/ DID NOT WORK for me.

They probably pertain to the 2.x versions of JBOSS and I'm using the 3.0 version (and waiting for the SAMS book to be re-released for v3.

Have Fun,

Pre 3.0.1, the jmx-console exists as an MBean that runs a basic http server on port 8082. This is the Sun RI HTML-JMX adapter. As of 3.0.1, this was rebuilt as a standard web application, and mounted to /jmx-console in your web server (Jetty or Tomcat). So, as of 3.0.1, there is no port 8082.

When struggling with the same issue, I noticed that JBoss had something running on port 8083. For example if you go to http://localhost:8083/index.jsp you will get the source code of a jsp page. (JBoss 3.0.3 binary distribution.)

What is that service for?
