通过install4j安装程序在JBoss上部署Web应用程序的步骤

Question

I am not sure where should I start from as I have to deploy a web application on JBoss via install4j installer.

I have created the Dynamic Web Apllication and I want to deploy this application on JBoss but deploy a war file and configure JBoss on client machine is not a good idea thus 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 and as I am new to install4j tool, I am not able to do this with install4j tool.Anyone can provide simple steps to create .exe file using install4j or any other tools

EDIT what I tried so far

• General Settings

1.1 Application Info

Specify all The information like full name,Short name,version...

1.2 Java version

min version=1.4 
max version=1.7

* NOTE: Confuse about the Environment variables JAVA_HOME,JDK_HOME*

1.3 Languages

English-en

1.4 Media File Options

    Media File Output Directory:*/home/shekhar/*
    Media file Pattern

Use LZMA compression Note: Rest of options are unchanged

• Files

• Launchers

  3.1 Generated Launcher add a new Launcher

• build

  6.1 Start Build

  Preparing configuration

   Creating media file 'Unix Installer': Collecting files: Compiling launchers: Compiling launcher 'connector': Generating launcher script file Generating VM options file connector.vmoptions. Creating media file: Generating launcher script file Zipping custom code & resources JAR file Identifying components Shrinking runtime Compressing files Applying LZMA compression Moving media files to media directory /home/shekhar/Desktop The name of the media file is she_unix_1_0_0.sh (click to execute) The size of the media file is 1.7 MB Writing md5sums. Writing updates.xml. To check your settings, you can generate a project report Build was completed in 13.9 seconds. 

I have run this exe but it has created application folder structure but where is JBoss Configuration and how can i deploy this apllication on JBoss

Answer 1

Deploying a web application locally involves copying a WAR file to a specific directory which in the case of JBoss is the standalone\\deployments directory. in install4j, you can use a "Copy file or directory" action to copy a war file from a distribution tree to an arbitrary directory.
