WAR file deployment and jboss-service.xml

[Reddy Prashanth]

Hi,

I am new to JBOSS AS. I am trying to deploy a war file in jboss4.2. I have to define a JMX bean to use in my WAR file (only this war file). Where should I keep my *-service.xml file inside the WAR. Is it possible ??

I came to know that for .SAR files, we can place the file inside META-INF. But I have to use a WAR file.

Could someone please guide me.

As far as I know, you will have to place the WAR within an EAR and add the *-service.xml file to the EAR also. In addition, the MBean classes would have to be in a separate JAR file within the EAR (they cannot be located within the WAR). Then you will have to add entries to but the application.xml and jboss-app.xml files.

With JBoss AS 5.x, it might be possible to locate the *-service.xml file within WEB-INF or META-INF, but I haven't tried it so am not sure.

Thank you Peter.

I'll try this one. But I am trying to find a way to work with only WAR file , not EAR :-). If that doesn't work, I will go with EAR.
