Installing JBoss Messaging as stand-alone

[kibitzer]

HI. I've just downloaded JBoss Messaging to try it out but I can't see in the installation instructions how to install it as stand-alone, only as an installation to replace JBoss MQ. Have I missed something here?

Running a standalone JBoss Messaging is nothing else than running a slimmed down JBoss instance. We need the microkernel and XMBean support, we also need a AOP support, remoting, etc.

I am working on a script that will use a "default" JBoss 4.0.3.SP1 installation to generate the minimal transitive closure of Messaging's dependencies.

I will post the ant script on the development wiki page.

I know that work is being done on a Messaging stand-alone installation process/script per http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-26. However, as a new user that is only interested in using JBoss Messaging, is it possible to get at least close to the "slimmed down JBoss instance" by running the JBoss AS Web Installer, selecting a specific profile (such as "jms"), followed by selecting/deselcting specific "packages"?

[ovidiu.feodorov]

You can achieve what you want by installing the "default" profile with the web installer and then running

 and -f release-admin.xml standalone

from the "util" directory of the Messaging distribution.
