Maven Cargo JBoss

From Foochal

Setting up JBoss

It is a good practice to startup JBoss outside the scope of maven and use cargo to redeploy your app. To setup JBoss 4, download the binary, go to the bin directory and run run.sh. The default host/port is localhost:8080, which is also the default of the following maven cargo configuration.

Example configuration which work with JBoss 4x and Maven2

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
  <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <container>
      <containerId>jboss4x</containerId>
      <type>remote</type>
    </container>
    <configuration>
      <type>runtime</type>
    </configuration>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

To deploy, simply type:

mvn cargo:redeploy

Create a selenium profile to automatically test your application during the integration-test phase

    <profile>
      <id>selenium</id>

      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>

            <configuration>
              <container>
                <containerId>jboss4x</containerId>
                <type>remote</type>
              </container>

              <configuration>
                <type>runtime</type>
              </configuration>

                      <!-- due to bug in jboss4 deployer, can't change context -->
                      <context>/${project.context}</context>
                    </properties>
