JBoss Setup Scripts

The jbosstools are a collection of scripts and examples how to configure Wildfly or JBoss EAP.

Prerequisites

• The JBoss version must be 7 or higher.
• Unix-style OS. Tested on Linux (Fedora, RHEL, Ubuntu), Solaris

Quickstart

1. Download the JBoss ZIP package (e.g. jboss-eap-6.4.0.zip) to $HOME/Downloads
2. Clone the Git-repository: git clone https://github.com/Gepardec/JBSS.git
3. Make sure that $HOME/bin is in the PATH (export PATH=~/bin:$PATH)

Run the following commands:

cd JBSS
bin/setup.sh -h
bin/setup.sh -r jboss-eap-6.4.0
myjboss configure configs/basic_setup
myjboss configure configs/database_with_m4_template
myjboss help

How it works

Each JBoss instance has a name (e.g: myjboss). The central script to manage an instance is jboss7. You shouldn't use jboss7 directly. Instead you create a link instance -> jboss7. When you call the script, it looks under which name it was called and reads an environment file $HOME/.instancerc (e.g: .myjbossrc). From this the basic environment variables like JBOSS_HOME and JBOSS_PORT_OFFSET are obtained. Then the script can start/stop JBoss and it can configure JBoss with help of jboss-cli.

The jboss7 Script

From "myjboss -h"

Usage: myjboss <command> [file]

where <command> is one of:
    start       - start JBoss Server myjboss
    stop        - stop JBoss Server myjboss (kill)
    restart     - stoppen und starten
    status      - check wether JBoss Server myjboss is running
    admin       - starten von jboss-cli.sh
    deploy f    - copy file f to /home/esiegl/jboss-myjboss/standalone/deployments/
    configure f - configure server with file or directory f. Use >/home/esiegl/bin/myjboss configure< for more help.
    run f       - same as configure. Intended to run scripts within the specific environment.
    tear-down   - remove the whole installation! (rm -rf /home/esiegl/jboss-myjboss)
    log         - show logfile with tail -f
    out         - show console output with tail -f
    help        - this screen

From "myjboss configure"

Usage: myjboss configure [ file | dir ]
  where the file-extension is in:
    conf    - file with commands for /home/esiegl/jboss-myjboss/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --controller=localhost:9999
    sh      - file with shell commands. JBOSS_HOME is exported.
    module  - Zip-file to be unpacked in /home/esiegl/jboss-myjboss/modules (deprecated, use zip instead)
    zip     - Zip-file to be unpacked in JBOSS_HOME (/home/esiegl/jboss-myjboss)
    restart - call /home/esiegl/bin/myjboss restart

If the argument is a directory, it will be processed recursively.
If there is a file 00_BOOTSTRAP in a directory, it will be processed before everything else. Eg. for handling templates.
