Is there any way to provide "Absolute" path for the application deployment using jboss-cli ???

[bhaveshbhagat4]

Hi All,

I was trying to automate the application deployments in JBoss 7 environment. But, going through help section and other article on community, I realized that we can only provide the application (ear/war/jar) file location relative to the current working directory. Is there any way that I can provide the absolute path for the application archive ? If it is not in current version, is there any plan to provide such feature in future releases ???

Please advise.

Thank you!

Hi,

what exactly are you trying to say and do?

relative to what?

If you are using deploy command in CLI you can deploy your deployment from anywhere you want.

You could also use admin console to upload file from anywhere you want.

Or are you referring to deployments folder? That is just configuration of deployment-scanner, which you can change.

Or you are looking for a way to deploy your application from its current location without it beeing copied to internal data structure (aka data folder)? to do so you can use --unmanaged flag when calling deploy command.

Hi Tomaz,

Sorry for not being clear on the question. Let me try to rephrase it.

Say for instanace, I have installed JBoss under following location:
/opt/JBoss7

And say, I am using "jboss-cli.sh" from "/opt/JBoss7/bin" directory.

My application is located on NFS mount called "APPs" mounted under root.

If I were to issue the deploy command, I will have to do following:

deploy ../../../APPs/<earFileName> --server-group="myServerGroup"

Instead of doing above, I want to specify the absolute path of the ear file. That said, I want to issue following command:

deploy /APPs/<earFileName> --server-group="myServerGroup"

Once I issue the command, JBoss should know that it is an absolute path and should not look for ear file under "/opt/JBoss7/bin/APPs/" directory.

I hope, this clearifies my question.

Thank you!

On windows Jboss allows to specify the full path

example -  deploy  C:\Users\xxx\boss-as-cluster-ha-singleton-service.jar  --server-groups=main-server-group 

So, ideally it should work on linux.

It should work.  You might want to file a Jira if it doesn't work on your OS.

You can also launch CLI GUI and use your operating system's "Browse" dialog to find the correct path.

Hi Ksreen,

I am using Redhat linux 6 and absolute path is NOT working.

Looks like, I had a typo earlier, it DOES support the absolute path. Sorry for the confusion.
