After you create a middleware server representation of
a JBoss server, you must update a few configuration settings so that
they are defined specifically for your JBoss installation.
Before you begin
Federate the node that is running the JBoss server and
create a representation of the server.
About this task
If you installed JBoss in a location other than the default
directory, update the WebSphere® variables
so that the installation directory is correct. To perform server operations
on your server, you must configure the server operations for the JBoss
middleware server representation.
Deprecated feature: Intelligent Management support for using JBoss
servers is deprecated. Support for using the administrative console
to configure these servers is removed. Use
wsadmin scripting
to manage these servers.

Procedure
- Update the WebSphere variables
so that they match the settings on the node that is running the JBoss
server. Follow the directions in the topic on modifying
variables using wsadmin scripting to edit the following
variables:
Edit the JBOSS_DIST variable, which specifies
the home directory of your JBoss installation. Usually, the default
installation location includes the JBoss version, so it is likely
that you need to update the default values. Default values are set
at the cell scope level:
C:\Program Files\jboss
/usr/local/jboss
Edit the JBOSS_PROFILE variable, which specifies the configuration
set in use for the server representation, and defaults to the name
of the server itself. The default value is set at the server scope
level: ${WAS_SERVER_NAME}. If these settings are different
on different nodes in your configuration, create the variables for
a specific node.
- Launch wsadmin scripting with a username
and password so that you can start and stop server operations.
Follow the directions in the topic on starting the wsadmin scripting
client to enable security. The startMiddlewareServer command
and the stopMiddlewareServer command require a
user name and password to run.
- Optional: Update the HTTP and HTTPS ports for
your servers. The default port is 8080. If you use a value
other than the default, you must change the port. Use the modifyForeignServerProperty command
in the middleware server management administrative tasks to change
the ports.
What to do next
- To use this configuration when you are configuring your other
JBoss servers, create a server template of your current JBoss server.
- View the log files for your JBoss server on the machine that hosts
it.
- Edit configuration files for your JBoss server on the machine
that hosts it.
- After you create representations of all the JBoss servers, you
can add the representations to a dynamic cluster.
