Disable web server in JBoss5.1.0

[N Jain]

Hello Forum,

Please advise me on the configuration changes that I need to make to the application server to disable JBossWeb.

Thank you,
Nitin

So you do not plan to deploy any WAR files? Nor provide any web services? What kinds of apps do you intend to deploy?

Hello Peter,

I plan to deploy the WAR files in separate webserver on a different machine. I am not sure if you will agree, but I plan to use the JBoss AS for the EJB files. The application is security sensitive and the requirement is to separate out the FE from the middle-ware.

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you,
Nitin

I just wanted to make sure what it was that you were doing before i gave any advice. And before I start, let me say that I have not done this myself so there might be things that I overlook. Anyway, here is information that will help:

* The embedded JBoss Web is located at server/xxx/deploy/jbossweb.sar, remove that.

* You will want to remove the included WAR files:
- server/xxx/deploy/admin-console.war
- server/xxx/deploy/jmx-console.war
- server/xxx/deploy/management (this directory holds the deprecated web-console)
- ROOT.war

* The WAR deployer is located at server/xxx/deployers/jbossweb.deployer

* You will also want to remove the web services deployer at server/xxx/deployers/jbossws.deployer

If, after removing the above, you get errors in startup, then it is a matter of finding the xml config file causing the error and correcting its settings. In other words, I suspect that there will be some settings in other config files that depend on the stuff that was removed, and you'll have to fix that up also.

Thank you Peter.

JBoss has started without any issues.
