通过自定义安装程序在JBoss上部署Web应用程序

Question

I am not sure where should I start from as I have to deploy a web application on JBoss via custom installer.

I have created the Dynamic Web Apllication which comunicates with BES ( BlackBerry Enterprise Server ) to perform some operations on devices.

Now I want to create a installer file ( .exe ) file which will take care of following things:

1. Installation of JBoss server on client machine
2. Deploy my application on JBoss server

so that I just have to give that installer file to client and on single click the installer will do all the things for me.

Answer 1

• Package the normal (unmodified) JBoss distribution into your installer
• The installer unpacks the JBoss distribution, and uses jboss-cli.sh to configure it.
• The installer copies your application into the deployment directory

• Configure and deploy your application on your development system (including data sources etc.)
• Package that JBoss installation into your installer (you probably don't need the content in .../standalone/data/ )
• The installer just unpacks that JBoss installation on the client's system

---

The 2nd options possibly seems to be easier, but in the long run, the 1st option is superior, because you automatically get a script of all configuration changes.

Note: The 1st option requires JBoss 7
