Start the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server

Before you deploy a quickstart using the Maven command line tool, in most cases you need a running Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform server. A few of the Arquillian tests do not require a running server. This will be noted in the README file for that quickstart.

The JBoss EAP server can be started the following ways.

• Start the Default JBoss EAP Server: This is the default configuration. It defines minimal subsystems and services.

• Start the JBoss EAP Server with the Full Profile: This profile configures many of the commonly used subsystems and services.

• Start the JBoss EAP Server with Custom Configuration Options: Custom configuration parameters can be specified on the command line when starting the server.

The README for each quickstart specifies which configuration is required to run the example.

A few examples of commands to start the JBoss EAP server are displayed at the end of this guide.

Note	See Use of EAP_HOME for information about the JBoss EAP installation path.

Start the Default JBoss EAP Server

To start the default JBoss EAP server:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP server directory.

2. The following shows the command to start the JBoss EAP server:

   • For Linux: $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh

   • For Windows: > EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat

Start the JBoss EAP Server with the Full Profile

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP server directory.

2. The following shows the command to start the JBoss EAP server with the full profile:

   • For Linux: $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml

   • For Windows: > EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat -c standalone-full.xml

Start the JBoss EAP Server with Custom Configuration Options

To start JBoss EAP with custom configuration options:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP server directory.

2. The following shows the command to start the JBoss EAP server. Replace CUSTOM_OPTIONS with the custom optional parameters specified in the quickstart README file.

   • For Linux: $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh CUSTOM_OPTIONS

   • For Windows: > EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat CUSTOM_OPTIONS

Examples of Commands to Start the JBoss EAP Server

The following are a few examples of how to start the server with custom options:

• Start the default server with a port offset of 100:

  $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100

• Start the server with the OSGI configuration option:

  $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh  -c standalone-osgi.xml

• Start the server with the XTS subsystem enabled:

  $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh --server-config=../../docs/examples/configs/standalone-xts.xml

• Start the JBoss EAP server with the full profile, giving it the unique node ID node1:

  $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml -Djboss.tx.node.id=node1
