JBoss Installation
These instructions are for
JBoss Application Server 4.0.X.
- Download and install JBoss Application Server . It's usually as simple as unzipping it in a directory. Let's call this directory $JBOSS_HOME.
- (optional) By default JBoss runs on port 8080. If you want to modify the port on which JBoss is running, edit $JBOSS_HOME/server/<mode>/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/server.xml. Search for "8080" and replace with the port value you wish to use. Similarly change the port in $JBOSS_HOME/server/<mode>/deploy/http-invoker.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml to the value you like.
- Copy and expand the XWiki WAR into a directory named xwiki.war/ (note that unlike most servlet containers JBoss wants the directory name to end with .war) in $JBOSS_HOME/server/<server configuration>/deploy where server configuration is the JBoss configuration you're using.
Log4j Error
Warning: It was reported that with XWiki 1.6 and JBoss 4.0.4, these settings change would generate an error with hibernate. Everything seems to work fine without these settings including classloading of log4j
- Edit $JBOSS_HOME/server/<server configuration>/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml file and replace:
<attribute name="Java2ClassLoadingCompliance">false</attribute>
<attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">false</attribute>
with:
<attribute name="Java2ClassLoadingCompliance">true</attribute>
<attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">true</attribute>
This is to avoid class loading issues for Log4J library. Refer
http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2007-September/008503.html for more information.
Configuration XWiki to use a JBoss DataSource
- Uncomment the resource-ref section in XWiki's web.xml file.
- Modify XWiki's WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml file to tell Hibernate to use a DataSource rather than a direct JDBC connection
- Copy the jboss-web.xml file to XWiki's WEB-INF/ directory
