JBoss AS 7 auto deploy plugin cannot connect to localhost:8080

Question

I have configured the plugin in maven as shown below:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>7.0.2.Final</version>
                <configuration>
                    <hostname>localhost</hostname>
                    <port>8080</port>
                    <filename>target/TestApp.war</filename>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>deploy</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
</plugin>

I then trigger it using maven using

mvn -U clean install package

It does build and everything works fine but fails when it starts the auto deployment.

The error seems to suggest that it could not connect to the application server on localhost:8080. It is running and i can access it. Any ideas?

JBoss Application Server version is 7.0.2 Maven version is 3.0.4

Answer 1

By default port 8080 is not the management port. The plugin requires you to use the management which is 9999 by default.

Also your filename element isn't quite right. Adding target at the beginning will cause the file not to be found.

The plugin looks in the build directory by default for the file name. In most cases the filename element doesn't even need to be used. The plugin will assume the file name is the ${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging} by default, which will likely work in your case.

Assuming you haven't changed the default management port you'd want it to look something like this.

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>7.0.2.Final</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>deploy</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
</plugin>

Answer 2

根据此页面 ，您不应指定Web端口（8080），而是指定管理端口（默认为9999），这是用于部署的端口。

Answer 3

I had a very similar situation and solved it by simply editing standalone.xml file to add a proper socket-binding for management interface.
