  3. JBoss Introduction http://weblogic-wonders.com • Open source implementation of the Java EE suite of services • Great deal of customization due to modularization of the services like. • Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) • Java Persistence API (JPA) • Java Messaging Service (JMS) • Java Transaction Service/Java Transaction API (JTS/JTA) • Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) • Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) • Advanced and fully extensible, cross component model, aspect integration, server runtime environment • Community Jboss Application Server and Jboss Enterprise Application Platform.

  4. JBoss Server : History http://weblogic-wonders.com Developed by JbossInc, now a RedHat division. JBoss AS 4.0, a Java EE 1.4 features embedded apache tomcat. JBoss AS 4.2 also functions as a Java EE 1.4 but deploys EJB 3.0 by default JBoss AS 5.1, released as of 2009, operates as a Java EE 5 application server built on top of a new JBossmicrocontainer. JBoss AS 6.0,an unofficial implementation of Java EE 6, was released on December 28, 2010. JBoss AS 6 does not support the full Java EE 6 stack JBoss AS 7, the current stable release, was released on July 12, 2011.

  5. http://weblogic-wonders.com Community Jboss Application Server: • Used by developers to test and integrate middleware capabilities. • Best suited for early to advanced prototyping and development • http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/ Jboss Enterprise Application Platform: • Integrates JBoss Application Server, with JBoss Hibernate, JBoss Seam, and other leading open source Java technologies from JBoss.org into a complete, simple enterprise solution for Java applications. • Integrated, tested and certified Enterprise Platforms. • Evaluation copy : http://www.jboss.com/downloads/ • http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/5/html/Installation_Guide/Introduction.html

  6. Jboss EAP – Core components http://weblogic-wonders.com • Jboss Microcontroller : POJO based kernel ,wires all the services. Core of the server. • Full support for EJB 3.0 • JBoss Messaging is a high performance JMS provider, rewrite of JBossMQ. • JBossCache enhancing the performance for caching the data • JBossWS is the web services stack for JBoss 5 providing Java EE compatible web services, • JBoss Transactions is the default transaction manager for JBoss 5. • JBoss Web is the Web container in JBoss 5, an implementation based on Apache Tomcat that includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR). • JBoss Security has been updated to support pluggable authorization models including SAML, XACML and federation

  7. JBossMicroContainer http://weblogic-wonders.com • Crux of Jboss, which is the foundation architecture into which you can plug only the services that your application needs • You can use bean configuration files in the server/xxx/conf directory to configure the MicroContainer. • Jboss 5.0 still provides few services based on JMX (Java Management eXtensions) to access the MBeans. • JMX Service is defined by JMX kernel is server/xxx/conf/jboss-service.xml, some Mbeans defined are below. • The logging Service • The Thread Pool - used to supply threads to run various services • The Java Naming and Directory Interface - JNDI • Various MBeans for managing security - includes JAAS • Various MBeans related to accessing JMX services • Various MBeans related to the remoting service 

  8. Jboss Architecture http://weblogic-wonders.com

  9. Installation http://weblogic-wonders.com Pre-Requisites • Enterprise Application Platform 5 requires a Java 6 JDK or JRE. Installation Methods. • ZIP download: Extract the ZIP folder. Faster way. • RPM installation: Suitable for production deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux system • Graphical Installer: In addition to installing the base files, the installer offers automation of optional component installation, and basic out-of-the-box security configuration

  10. Graphical Installation http://weblogic-wonders.com Steps • Download the software from RedHat site. (Evaluation Copy) Application Platform <release> Binary Installer • https://access.redhat.com/downloads/evals • Execute the command java -jar jboss-eap-installer-<release>.jar • Specify the installation directory • Select the packages you would like to install • For ex. WebServices stack • Specify the JMX Security • Install the native libraries • Perform the post installation activities like securing the JMX console, Admin Console etc.

  11. Jboss Server Structure – Directories. http://weblogic-wonders.com • Bin: Contains all the scripts to start the server, installing the server as a Service. • Client: Contains all the client specific jar files. • Common: Contains the jar files that are common to all the server profiles. • Docs: Contains the documents and examples. • Lib: Contains the library files. • Native : Contains the native libraries • Server: Contains server configurations. By default the Jboss installation contains the below server configurations. • Minimal: • Default : • All: • Standard : • Web: • Production:

  12. Jboss Native Components • Incorporates native operating system components and connectors • Higher server performance, as native operating system code becomes available for the server to optimize tasks. • Apache Portable Runtime (APR) • OpenSSL for implementing SSL and TLS • Tomcat Native (TC-Native) • mod_jk connects the Tomcat JSP container to the Apache webserver, providing load-balancing. • mod_cluster is an httpd-based load balancer. • ISAPI is a connector for the Microsoft IIS web server. • HornetQ a JMS messaging provider which provides high performance  http://weblogic-wonders.com

  13. Server Profile Directory Structure • Conf :Contains the bootstrap.xml bootstrap descriptor file for a given server configuration. This defines the core microcontainer beans. • Data: Used by services that want to store content in the file system. It holds persistent data for services intended to survive a server restart. • Deploy: Contains the hot-deployable services, applications • Lib: Contains library files specific to the server configuration. • Log: This is where the log files are written • tmp Used for temporary storage by JBoss services. The deployer, for example, expands application archives in this director • Work: Directory is used by Tomcat for compilation of JSP http://weblogic-wonders.com

  14. JBoss server Start / Stop. http://weblogic-wonders.com Starting the Server: • Move to JBOSS_DIST/jboss-as/bin directory and execute the run.bat (for Windows) or run.sh (for Linux) script, as appropriate for your operating system. • $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.bat • Note: Below are the default settings. • The server is bound to 127.0.0.1 for security reasons. To enable remote access by binding JBoss services to a particular interface, simply run jboss with the -b option. • $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.bat –b • The server runs on port 8080 and to change the settings, we can run it as below. • $JBOSS_HOME/bin/ run -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-01 • Specify alternate server profile. • $JBOSS_HOME/bin/ run –c <alternate-server-profile> Stopping the server: • You can run the shutdown script to shutdown the server. • $JBOSS_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh

  15. JBoss server- Default http://weblogic-wonders.com • JBOSS_HOME URL: file:/H:/jboss-6.0.0.Final/ • Bootstrap: $JBOSS_HOME\server/default/conf/bootstrap.xml • Common Base: $JBOSS_HOME\common/ • Common Library: $JBOSS_HOME\common/lib/ • Server Name: default • Server Base: $JBOSS_HOME\server/ • Server Library: $JBOSS_HOME\server/default/lib/ • Server Config: $JBOSS_HOME\server/default/conf/ • Server Home: $JBOSS_HOME\server/default/ • Server Data: $JBOSS_HOME\server/default/data/ • Server Log: $JBOSS_HOME\server/default/log/ • Server Temp: $JBOSS_HOME\server/default/tmp/

  16. JBoss Default Ports

  17. Jboss as Windows Service http://weblogic-wonders.com • Start automatically when you boot a Windows host computer • JBoss AS comes with Windows service executable as part of Jboss Native library that can run JBoss Application Server as service. • The service executable jbosssvc.exe transforms run.bat and  shutdown.bat batch scripts to services. This means that any change made to those scripts will be used both in service and command line mode. • http://www.jboss.org/jbossweb/install/service.html
