This is a bare- bones Jboss tutorial

What will you need ?

jboss (obviously duh !!!) You can download from here (I used Jboss 4.0.5 GA )

And ANT to compile,build  and deploy

And 20 minutes of your time

What will we achieve ?

A quick on its feet Jboss tutorial which uses a stateless session bean to say hello to you

Assumptions

You are running your JBoss server on the default port number 1099.

This example was tested on windows XP platform- but should really work elsewhere as well.

Getting Started

Step 1: Download from here.

Step 2: Unzip the file to your file system. Lets say C:\JBossOne

Step 3: Start your JBoss server

Step 4: Open a  command prompt and then Go to the folder C:\JBossOne

Step 5: Edit build.properties and change the jboss.home to confirm to your deployment.

Step 6: Compile, Build the application- by giving the command ant package-ejb

Step 7: Deploy the application by giving the command ant deploy

Step 8: Confirm that the bean has been deployed correctly. It should give something like this on the jboss prompt

18:29:20,359 INFO  [EjbModule] Deploying HelloWorldBean
18:29:20,437 INFO  [ProxyFactory] Bound EJB Home ‘HelloWorldBean’ to jndi ‘Hello
World’
18:29:20,437 INFO  [EJBDeployer] Deployed: file:/C:/jboss_4_0_5/server/default/t
mp/deploy/tmp32046HelloWorld.ear-contents/HelloWorld-ejb.jar
18:29:20,484 INFO  [EARDeployer] Started J2EE application: file:/C:/jboss_4_0_5/
server/default/deploy/HelloWorld.ear

Step 9:Open a new command prompt and then Go to the folder C:\JBossOne

Step 10: Test your application by giving the command ant tests. You should see something like this

C:\Work\MyLabs\JBossOne>ant tests
Buildfile: build.xml
