Deploying to the JBoss Application Server

Deploy your packaged application to the JBoss Application Server through an application server connection. A packaged application will contain a deployment profile that names the files to be deployed, describes their organization, and specifies the target server.

The target JBoss server must be installed locally or mapped to a network drive.

To deploy to the JBoss Application Server:

Create a connection to the target application server.
If the project uses ADF Business Components, configure the server for ADF Business Components deployment.
If your application is an EJB application, add a jboss.xml deployment descriptor file if you want to support JBoss-specific configuration options for the EJBs. For more information on this file, see www.jboss.org.
If your project is a Business Components UIX JSP project, add required Cabo resources to it.
Select the deployment profile in the Navigator, right-click, and choose an option:
- Choose Deploy to | < application server connection> to package the application as an archive file and deploy it via the selected application server connection.
- For a business components JSP application, choose Deploy to EAR file from the context menu to deploy it as a EAR file. You must deploy this application to an EAR file and not a WAR file, as JBoss will not add the EJB references under the java:comp/env/ JNDI namespace for a WAR file. Copy this file to the <JBoss_install>/deploy directory.

Notes:

Create a library in JDeveloper for the JBoss client side libraries to test an EJB deployed inside JBoss. The client side libraries from JBoss are located in the client directory under the JBoss directory, and are used to test an EJB deployed within JBoss. See Including Libraries in a Project.
You may now invoke a business components JSP application in your web browser by entering a application URL similar to the following:

http://localhost:8080/<context root>

where <context root> is the J2EE context root for your project containing the Business Components JSP application. For example, Workspace1-Project1-context-root/ .
