JBoss Enterprise Application Platform provides an extensive Java EE-based application server to which we can deploy and manage our applications. Oftentimes, this can be as simple as deploying a provided WAR or EAR file to our configured server, but when we’re creating development environments or otherwise want access to our pre-compiled application files, we can pair JBoss with Apache Maven, which will build our application before JBoss deploys it.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Install Apache Maven
Install Maven using
sudo yum install maven.- Deploy the Application
Move into the
kitchensinkdirectory:cd kitchensink
Review the contents. It contains a
pom.xmlfile for building and deploying the project in Maven. The project itself is stored in thesrcdirectory, along with tests.lsDeploy the application:
sudo mvn clean install wildfly:deployVisit
PUBLICIP:8080/kitchensinkto ensure the application is working.
- Make a Change to the Application
Undeploy the application:
mvn wildfly:undeploy
Make a superficial change to the application:
vim src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/templates/default.xhtmlUpdate the title to add a change:
<title>Add a change!</title>
- Redeploy the Application
Deploy the application once more; notice how much faster it deploys this time:
sudo mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
- Visit the application and take note of your change.
