Today I installed JBoss AS 7.1 on our Ubuntu 13.04 stend. I'm sure it is not the last time when I prepare JBoss application server, so I decided to memorize my steps in this post.
The installation procedure is:
- Install JDK
- Download and install JBoss
- Test JBoss installed
- Configure to run as a daemon
- Allow remote access
Install JDK 7
Install JDK from repository (oracle-java7-installer from this ppa is JDK)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
Set this version to be used by default
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-7-oracle
Set up environment variables
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default
Install JBoss AS 7.1.1
Download and unpack JBoss AS 7.1.1. For manually installed software I use old-fashioned /opt folder.
wget http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jbos-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz
tar xfvz jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz
sudo mv jboss-as-7.1.1.Final /opt/jbossas7
Create jboss service user, give permissions, enter as jboss
adduser jboss
chown -R jboss:jboss /opt/jbossas7
su jboss
Add new management user, when adding, press "a" to select management user, leave ManagementRealm and enter admin username and password:
adduser
Test run JBoss AS
Change user to jboss
su jboss
Run with remote access management allowed
/opt/jbossas7/bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.bind.address=0.0.0.0 -Djboss.bind.address.management=0.0.0.0
Open a management console in browser http://localhost:9990
Open default web http://localhost:8080
Just press Ctrl-C in terminal to stop the server
Configure to run as a daemon
Create script
/etc/init.d/jbossas7
with the following content:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: jboss
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Management of JBoss AS v7.x
### END INIT INFO
#Defining JBOSS_HOME
JBOSS_HOME=/opt/jbossas7/
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting JBoss AS7…"
sudo -u jboss sh ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/standalone.sh &
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping JBoss AS7…"
sudo sh ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-cli.sh –connect command=:shutdown
;;
log)
echo "Showing server.log…"
tail -1000f ${JBOSS_HOME}/standalone/log/server.log
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/jboss {start|stop|log}"
exit 1
;; esac
exit 0
Set the script as executable
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/jbossas7
Test it
sudo service jbossas7 start
sudo service jbossas7 stop
And finally make it auto run when system starts
update-rc.d jbossas7 defaults
Allow remote access
JBoss restricts remote access by default. To be able to open JBoss console and apps in browser from any remote machine, do the following steps.
Open config file /opt/jbossas7/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml, change addresses from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 in interfaces section:
<interface name="management">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:0.0.0.0}" />
</interface>
<interface name="public">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:0.0.0.0}" />
</interface>
<interface name="unsecure">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:0.0.0.0}" />
</interface>
</interfaces>
