But now i will that my created portelt work on an another jboss portal on an other jboss server. How can i great a .war or .sar or .ear to switch my portlet from one server to an another server?

You must create a build script using Apache Ant or Apache Maven, in this way you can run the build script from any IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, etc...).

Your script need to create a WAR or a EAR package.

Hope this helps.

Hi Piergiorgiolucidi,

I think you can help me out. !.......I am facing the issue while running my application with Jboss in netbeans Earlier I was running my application using Tomcat server in NetBeans. If I am deploying only then it is fine but when running with jboss an error and exception occurs:

Maybe your application must be deployed when server is shutdown, I think is a big application (many resources).

So the deployer thread start before you have copied all the files, I think you can solve trying to deploy this application restarting JBoss.

Have you tried in this way?

Thank for your reply...

I have tried to restart the jboss server but no sucess....
I am using Jboss 4.0.4 and Netbeans 5.5.

It is deploying the application.war file from the directory: D:\program_files\jboss\server\default\deploy

Do I need to change the PORT for Jboss ? If yes, then which port number and how can I change it?

Please reply!

Have you create a build script or you are using only NetBeans to deploy in JBoss?

Thank you for your answer. How i create a build script? What ending has the script .sh or .xml? And what has this build script into, what code? Give it a standrad code for a build script?

If i create a new Dynamic Web Project eclipse create me a build folder, in this build folder i should move this script?

If you choose to use Apache Maven (I suggest this ;) ) you must add in your root project directory pom.xml file (POM). POM is a descriptor about Maven lifecyle of your application.

You can see all info about how to install Maven and create a pom.xml here:
http://maven.apache.org/


If you choose to use Apache Ant you must add a build.xml file. Build.xml is a procedures file about all targets to do to create your package.

Here you can see how to install Ant and create your own build.xml file:
