In
this article we will see the Directory Structure of JBoss 7.When we
extract the Zip package we see the following Directory Structure
bin
: contains all the scripts that
are necessary in starting , stopping the JBoss Server Instance. There
are separate scripts for starting a Domain as well as a Stand alone
Instances.
Bundles
: Contains OSGI Bundles
docs/schema
: Schema Definition Files
modules
:AS 7 is based on a modular
classloading architecture. The various modules used in the server are
stored here.
welcome-content
:Default Welcome Page content
There
are 2 other important Directory available .
Stand
alone
In
"standalone" mode each JBoss Application Server 7 instance
is an independent process.The necessary files needed for running this
Stand alone process can be found under the /standalone directory
Configuration
: Configurations files for running a Stand alone server are available
in here.
Data
: Persistent information written by the server to survive a restart
of the server
deployments
: All Deployments go in Here.
lib/ext
: Location for installed library jars referenced by applications
using the Extension-List mechanism
log
: standalone server log files
tmp
: location for temporary files written by the server
Domain
Collections
of multiple servers that can be called as a Domain. These
configuration files for the Domain are available in this locations
Besides
the AS instances, two more processes are created:
the
Domain Controller which acts as management control point of the
domain
Host
Controller which interacts with the domain Controller to control the
lifecycle of the AS instances running on that Host.
The
configuration files, deployment content and writeable areas used by
domain mode processes run from a JBoss Application Server 7
installation are found in the following subdirectories under the top
level "domain" directory
configuration
: Configuration files for the Domain and Host Controller are
available in here .Information about the servers running n this
domain are also available in here
Content
: an internal working area for the Host Controller that controls this
installation. This is where it internally stores deployment content.
This directory is not meant to be manipulated by end users.
lib/ext
: Location for installed library jars referenced by applications
log
: Location where the Host Controller process writes its logs. The
Process Controller, a small lightweight process that actually spawns
the other Host Controller process and any Application Server
processes also writes a log here.
Servers
: Writable area used by each Application Server instance that runs
from this installation. Each Application Server instance will have
its own subdirectory, created when the server is first started. In
each server's subdirectory there will be the following
subdirectories:
data
{-}- information written by the server that needs to survive a
restart of the server
log
{-}- the server's log files
tmp
{-}- location for temporary files written by the server
Starting
a Stand alone Server
We
can start the Stand alone Jboss by running the
./standalone.sh

Once
we see the “Started” message .we are sure that the Server is Up
and running.We can also start another profile using
./standalone.sh
--server-config=standalone-full.xml
We
can also start the Server in only admin mode for performing the admin
tasks like
./standalone.sh
--admin-only
Here
are the Basic Screens
Happy Learning :-)
