JBOSS is open source enterprise level J2EE Server (similar to Oracle Application Server).

                This post covers installation of JBOSS (Open Source J2EE Application Server) on Linux and Windows. I am going to use this JBOSS as application Server for  Oracle Role Manager Installation in my next port.  

Jboss Home Page

Download JBoss Software

Download JBoss 4.2.2.GA  from here  (This is platform indepedent software so you can install this software on windows, Linux, solaris or any other operating sytem )

Save file  jboss-4.2.2.GA.zip  to Linux/windows

Installation on Windows
1. Download and Install JDK, if not already installed on windows machine.

2. Unzip  jboss-4.2.2.GA.zip

3. Set following environment variables according to your server. In my case they are set to following directory
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15
JBOSS_HOME=C:\atul\role_manager\jboss-4.2.2.GA

4. Ensure these two environment variable are set by typing following on command prompt
echo %JAVA_HOME%
echo %JBOSS_HOME%

5. Installation on windows is complete
 

Installation ion Linux
 
1. If JDK is not already installed on linux machine; download jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-i586.bin from sun site and install it on Linux by executing bin file. This will create directory like  jdk1.5.0_15, I installed it under /stage/JDK/ so my JAVA_HOME is /stage/JDK/jdk1.5.0_15 

2. Unzip jboss-4.2.2.GA.zip on linux. This will create directory like  jboss-4.2.2.GA

3. Create environment file like  jboss.env like
export JAVA_HOME=/stage/JDK/jdk1.5.0_15
export JBOSS_HOME=/stage/JBOSS/jboss-4.2.2.GA
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JBOSS_HOME/bin:$PATH

4. execute like  . jboss.env

Start/Stop JBOSS

1. On Windows
1.1 Ensure environment variable JBOSS_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set
1.2 Go to command prompt
1.3 cd %JBOSS_HOME%\bin
1.4 run.bat    (To Start)
1.5 shutdown.bat  (To Stop)

2. On Linux
2.1 Execute jboss.env file created above
2.2 cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin
2.3 ./run.sh  (To Start)
2.4 ./shutdown.s (To Stop)
