[JBoss] JBoss AS7 | EAP6 + Seam 3 + Maven 3 on Fedora 16

Dear *,

Recently I looked for Seam 3 applications running into JBoss AS7 (foretaste purpose) or EAP 6 (Professional use purpose).
So I uncompressed the following packages into a temporary directory (Test purpose) of a common|standard user of the system :

• JBoss EAP6 Beta – Server which provides software applications with services such as security, data services, transaction support, load balancing, and management of large distributed systems. – -> Download Package
• JBoss AS7 – Server which provides software applications with services such as security, data services, transaction support, load balancing, and management of large distributed systems. -> Download Package
• Seam 3 – Seam is a powerful open source development platform for building rich Internet applications in Java. – -> Download Package
• Maven 3.0.3 -> well, if you are using Fedora or RHEL, be root on your system and run “yum install maven”. If not, then go to http://maven.apache.org to install the application

Then I set the JBOSS_HOME directory with the path of my application server – Here I chose to use JBoss EAP6 Beta : export JBOSS_HOME=/home/user/jboss-eap-6.0 (you can set it definitively in the maven settings.xml file or in you local profile).

I ran the JBoss EAP6 Beta Application Server in standalone mode with the following command :

jboss-eap-6.0/bin/standalone.sh

I opened the seam-3.1.0.Final/examples directories to set the following stanza in the pom.xml file :

<plugins>

<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>7.1.1.Final</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>deploy</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

</plugins>

Finally, I choose one of the Seam 3 examples, went to the corresponding directory and  I compiled and deployed it to the running  JBoss EAP6 Beta application server with the following commands :

cd seam-3.1.0.Final/examples/seam-booking

mvn package jboss-as:deploy

and then went to the following URL : http://localhost:8080/seam-booking

[JBoss.org AS7] Datasource configuration with Postgresql.

Dear all,

Well, recently I tried to make my application work on JBoss.org AS7.

Just to check if I should have to do some code modifications in my application when JBoss.com EAP 6 will be released.

FYI, you can download freely JBoss.org AS7 at the following URL -  http://www.jboss.org/jbossas – however as it is a community project you will not have any support with SLA.

In case of you would need one(s) then I would suggest you to subscribe to  JBoss EAP Solutions –   http://www.jboss.com/ -

So,  one of my main targets was to make AS7 work with Postgresql as its underlying database.

1] I wanted to use an updated Postgresql JDBC then I had to download it from the JDBC Postgresql website -  http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html -

I used postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar

2]  I had to create dedicated directories and files inside the JBoss.org AS7 directory.

jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/modules/org/postgres/main

Then, to upload the postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar in the following path :   jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/modules/org/postgres/main

And then to create specific xml file named : module.xml  with the following content :

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="org.postgres">

  <resources>

    <resource-root path="postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar"/>

  </resources>

   <dependencies>

     <module name="javax.api"/>

     <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>

   </dependencies>

</module>

So in the  jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/modules/org/postgres/main path you should retrieved the following files :

> postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar – Postgresql JDBC4 driver.

> postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar.index – Index file generated by JBoss. That file should automatically created by the JBoss instance as soon as the Postgresql JDBC Driver will be discover by the instance.

> module.xml – Module Description

4] Then, I  had to add a Posgresql node in the following section of the jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.0">

<datasources>

                  <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS" pool-name="H2DS" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">

                     <connection-url>
                                jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1
                     </connection-url>
                     <driver>
                     h2
                     </driver>
                     <pool>
                                <prefill>
                                          false
                                </prefill>
                                <use-strict-min>
                                          false
                                </use-strict-min>
                                <flush-strategy>
                                          FailingConnectionOnly
                                </flush-strategy>
                     </pool>
                     <security>
                                <user-name>
                                          sa
                                </user-name>
                                <password>
                                          sa
                                </password>
                     </security>
                  </datasource>
                  <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/PostgresqlDS" pool-name="java:jboss/datasources/PostgresqlDS_Pool" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
                     <connection-url>
                                jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb
                     </connection-url>
                     <driver>
                                postgresql
                     </driver>
                     <security>
                                <user-name>
                                          myuser
                                </user-name>
                                <password>
                                          mypassword
                                </password>
                     </security>
                  </datasource>

                <drivers>

                    <driver name="postgresql" module="org.postgres">

                        <xa-datasource-class>

                            org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource

                        </xa-datasource-class>

                    </driver>

                    <driver name="h2" module="com.h2database.h2">

                        <xa-datasource-class>

                            org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource

                        </xa-datasource-class>

                    </driver>

                </drivers>

</datasources>

</subsystem>

Rem: Do not forget to change the Postgresql Database user and password to yours.

5] You can check in the JBoss Administration Console your JDBC connection is rcognized – http://localhost:9990/console/App.html#server/datasources

You should see a green light if everything is OK.

6] Finally, do not forget to change the persistence -persistence.xml – file of your application to check your application works with the new Posgresql datasource.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
