[bhupeshj14]

Hi All,

I am newbie to JBOSS. basically i am from Weblogic Server background. Can anybody describe the profiles and Server groups configured in JBOSS. I read JBOSS docs and compared with WebLogic but.. i got confused ... please help !!!

The difference between the profiles is the use-case, without a suffix it will be a web-profile (or EE light). a -full contain all subsystems and -ha clustering. full-ha mean you have all features enabled.

Hi Wolf,

Thanks for reply !!!!

I am clear with your answer but my concern is how to dealt with application with profiles if i am using standalone instance where only one JBOSS instance will be running... so there is any mean of HA, Full-HA, ......

How we can provide High availability if only JBOSS is hosted a application??

May be i am wrong... plz correct me.....

Thanks in Advance !!!

There is no way for HA.

As if this instance fail there is no other instance to do the work.

For HA you need to have at least 2 instances, hopefully not at the same physical host, and the ha or full-ha profile to build a cluster and have the loadbalancing and failover enabled.

If you use a web application you might need a external LB as well, like apache to handle the http requests.
