How to run .ear file in JBoss 6?


I have created myProj.ear file and copied it into the deploy folder of the JBoss server.. How to run my project after starting the jBoss server?

I have been using war file and deploying it in Tomcat till now to run my project.... I am having a new requirement to run the project in JBoss. So, I converted my war file into an ear file using the command Jar -cvf myProj.ear ., Should I change anything in my project to run the application in JBoss or just copying my .ear file in to the jBoss deploy folder is enough?


Solution

  • JBoss normally support hot deployment - meaning that if your application was deployed correctly (watch the console), it can be accessed via the browser (if you have a UI) or via web services, managed beans or any other interface you have provided.

    You can see the status of your application on the JBoss Admin Console. You can reach it by typing the URL of your JBoss installation. If you run your vanilla JBoss locally, you should be able to find the console under http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console

    To reiterate: there is no explicit startup necessary, JBoss handles it for you.
