Deploying the application to JBoss Application Server

The deployment procedures below are for using JBoss 4.x. The procedures for using different versions of JBoss may vary.

In Manager, locate the existing Web application on the Applications page.

  1. Check the box next to the Web application you want to deploy to Tomcat and hit the 'Export' button.
  2. In the File Download dialog that appears, click the Save button.
  3. In the 'Save as type:' section, choose All Files.
  4. The default file name extension will be .zip. Change this to .war and save it to the file system. Click the 'Close' button when Save is complete.

    (For example: C:\temp\myapp.war)
  5. Start JBoss. You can do this by executing <JBoss_home>\bin\run.bat. You'll need to make sure you've set a JAVA_HOME system variable that points to a Java 5 version of the JDK before starting JBoss.
  6. Copy the .war file to <JBoss_home>\server\default\deploy. This will "hot deploy" the Web application, which means it will automatically deploy without having to restart JBoss.

 

Testing your deployment

Open a browser and go to http://yourserver:8080/your_webapp_name.
