How to run more than one JBoss 4.x server in one m/c

[Abhijit Das]

hi,
I want to run multiple instances of JBoss 4.0 in my m/c. I made the port number ( default 8080) different for each instances. But only one server is started , others shows duplicate port no. and other exceptions.

Follow the steps mentioned here

hi Jaikiran,
I have gone through the link. I understood, but it was not given in step wise. I got confused.

1st, I have created the directories as node1, node2 for 2 server instances.

...\jboss-4.0.0\server\node1
...\jboss-4.0.0\server\node2

2nd, I edit the file
...\jboss-4.0.0\docs\examples\binding-manager\sample-bindings.xml

( actually i used the same port numbers mentioned in the file. so no edit)

3rd,
In
..\jboss-4.0.0\server\node1\conf\jboss-service.xml
I uncomment the Service Binding section.
and added the entries for other two port in <mbean> e.g.

   <mbean code="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager"
     name="jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager">
     <attribute name="ServerName">ports-02</attribute>
     <attribute name="StoreURL">C:/JBoss-1/jboss-4.0.0/docs/examples/binding-manager/sample-bindings.xml</attribute>
     <attribute name="StoreFactoryClassName">
       org.jboss.services.binding.XMLServicesStoreFactory
     </attribute>
   </mbean> 

Note: my Jboss location is in C:/JBoss-1

4th, In console,I typed
C:\JBoss-1\jboss-4.0.0\bin>run.bat -c JBoss-1

so, ClassNotFoundException is coming.

Please help.

How did you create the JBoss-1 server profile under C:\JBoss-1\jboss-4.0.0\server folder? Or do you have separate JBoss installations one at C:\JBoss-1 and other at C:\JBoss-2? If it's the latter, then your command should be:

run.bat -c default

for both the instances.

hi Jaikiran ,
I am getting confuse.
I am giveing my current setting as follows:

1. my JBoss4 is stored in
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0

2. The three nodes namely JBoss-1, JBoss-2, JBoss-3 are created in
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server

( node1 means JBoss-1 as shown in my last post)

3. Each folder of server instances like JBoss-1 contians
the folders of location in the
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server

i.e. I copied the folders (all, default, minimal, standard) under
..\server
and pasted in the JBoss-1, JBoss-2 and JBoss-3.

4. Uncomment the 'Service Binding' block for the three nodes .
For JBoss-1, the file is
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server\JBoss-1\conf\jboss-service.xml

as follows :

    
   <!-- ==================================================================== -->
   <!-- Service Binding                                                      -->
   <!-- ==================================================================== -->
 
   <!-- Automatically activated when generatting the clustering environment -->
   <!-- @TESTSUITE_CLUSTER_CONFIG@ -->

     <attribute name="StoreFactoryClassName">
       org.jboss.services.binding.XMLServicesStoreFactory
     </attribute>
   </mbean>

5. As the location
../docs/examples/binding-manager/sample-bindings.xml
is correct.

6. In console, I typed
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\bin>run.bat -c all

server is started succesfully. But I donot know whether the instances are started or not.
I think only the parent server(C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\bin) is started.
Since, I get the url
http://localhost:8080
and also war files store in the location of ...\all or any other proper place is working.

***************************
My question are:
1. Whether my steps are correct or not?
2. If yes, server 3 instances are started or not. How to check it.
3. In a documentation, I come to know that WAR, EAR files have to place in the location (..\all\farm) of any

of the instances . i.e.
in my case
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server\JBoss-1\all\farm\MyWebApp.war

and server will copy in other nodes in the cluster.

This is not working.

4. Please tell all the assumption is correct or not.

Hello Jaikiran ,

Can you give me the explanation.

1. Whether my steps are correct or not?
2. If yes, server 3 instances are started or not. How to check it.

If you have configured servers as C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server\JBoss-1 C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server\JBoss-2 and C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server\JBoss-3 with each one having its own ports-group in the jboss-service.xml, then to start these 3 servers, you have to use the following command:

run -c JBoss-1

run -c JBoss-2

run -c JBoss-3

These 3 commands will start the 3 server instances.

3. In a documentation, I come to know that WAR, EAR files have to place in the location (..\all\farm) of any

Do you need clustering?

[Abhijit Das]

Thanking for continuing the thread.
I want to use JBoss clustering.

Are my steps in correct?

1stly, what are the folders in the

C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server\JBoss-1 and others to make a server instance.

2nd, What is the current directory for the command.
run -c JBoss-1



3rdly, If I typed
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\bin>run -c JBoss-1

    
Failed to boot JBoss:
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/C:/JBoss/jboss-4.0.0/server/JBoss-1/conf/jboss-service.xml could not
 be opened, does it exist?
        at org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo.<init>(DeploymentInfo.java:168)

Thanks

Jaikiran,

While I was going through this thread, I realized that on my JBoss installation, I do not have the "all", "minimal", "standard" folders that Abhijit has referred to in his post-

3. Each folder of server instances like JBoss-1 contians
the folders of location in the
C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.0\server

i.e. I copied the folders (all, default, minimal, standard) under
..\server

I have two server profiles under my JBOSS-

 
$jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default
   

and

 
$jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\new

Am I amiss somewhere? Why don't I see the folders that Abhijit has mentioned.

Note that I got this JBoss copied from someone's machine.

Thank you
Neelesh

[Neelesh A Korade]

I realized that the JBoss I got was a customized one and it didn't have the folders that are mentioned by Abhijit.
