Configure JBoss as a Windows Service

When you configure the JBoss application server as a web service, it runs automatically when the computer boots.

To configure JBoss as a Windows service

1. Browse to the JBoss community download website and download the JBoss Native 2.0.1 Windows 32 package.
2. Copy the jboss-native-2.0.1-windows-i686-ssl.zip archive to the following directory:

   RCM_install\eurekify-jboss
   

   Note: RCM_install is the CA RCM installation directory.

3. Unzip the file.

   New directories and files are created.

4. Edit the service.bat file in the \bin subdirectory as follows:
   1. Search the file and replace the string run.bat with the string eurekify.bat.
   2. Find and delete the following strings in the file:
      • >run.log
      • >>run.log
      • >shutdown.log
      • >>shutdown.log

   Save changes to the file.

5. Open a command-line window from the Start menu (Start, Run, cmd). Navigate to the directory:

   RCM_install\eurekify-jboss\bin
   

6. Enter service install.

   A confirmation message appears after the JBoss web application service is installed.

7. Open the Windows Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, Services.
8. Right-click the JBoss Application Server 4.2 entry and select Properties.
9. Change the Startup Type to Automatic and click OK.
10. Reboot the computer.
11. Check CA RCM log files to verify that the JBoss Application Server starts.
