Jboss 5.1.0. GA "default" cleanup

[madiga99]

Hi everyone!

I am using jboss 5.1.0 GA and the default instance.  When I need to make changes, i do not use the admin console or jmx for anyting.

Instead of  securing jmx-console, admin-console, web-console and possibly others, can I simply delete these folders and still function properly?

Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Hi ma diga,

You can delete these folders and it will not give you any problem.

you can also check the following link for jboss-slimming.

If you are not using the newer admin console, then it's the first thing you need to remove as it accounts for a large part of start-up time and memory requirements. By the way if you meant to perform some clean up of files (tmp, logs, etc) here's a short tutorial that might help you: JBoss Storage faqs

For saving resources and startup time you might strip the configuration, but do not spend too much effort the effect is not as big as supposed.

One of the jmx-console, web-console or admin-console might helpful in some cases. Jmx is simple and might used by scripts, admin console is more cuser friendly, AFAIK the web-console is more or less deprecated.

Most heap used by:

*console

JMS

UDDI

WebServices

EJB3

For security and savety reasons some services might deleted:

hypersonic => it is strongly recommeded NOT use in porduction

hotdeployment and farming (also save CPU during runtime)

JBossMessaging

ejb2 or ejb3 deployer if not used (including the timer service)

BeanShell deployer

JBossMail

HTTPinvoker

That's correct. Infact, the latest AS6 versions do not ship it.

Thanks everyone!

Very helpful information.  Exactly why I wanted to trim down the "default" server...

Quick startup time and unnecessary stuff that could be potential security concern.
