Installing JBoss on Windows

  1. Go to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/7.0/html/installation_guide/index

  2. Download the JBoss EAP 7.3.0 as a .zip file or Installer Installation.

  3. If you have downloaded the .zip file, then place the newly created folder anywhere on your system and extract it.

    If you have downloaded installer, create JBoss folder and give installation path.

    Example:  C:\JBoss

  4. Change JVM memory allocation pool parameters in the following file:

    <JBOSS_HOME>\bin\standalone.conf.bat

    to

    set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:MetaspaceSize=256M -
XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m"

  5. Ensure that a supported Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed.

  6. The JAVA_HOME system environment variable must be set.

    Note: Ensure that the JBoss installation path does not contain spaces.

  7. Install the JBoss Core Services Jsvc Package

    1. Open a browser and log in to the Red Hat Customer Portal JBoss Software Downloads page.

      https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/listSoftware.html

    2. Select Apache Jsvc in the Product dropdown menu.

    3. Select the version (1.1.0) from the Version dropdown menu.

    4. Find Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache Jsvc in the list, select the correct platform and architecture for your system, and click the Download link.

      Note: Ensure that you select the correct platform and architecture for your system.

    5. Extract the downloaded ZIP file into the directory that contains your JBoss EAP installation directory. This results in a jbcs-jsvc-<VERSION> directory at the same depth as your JBoss EAP installation directory.

      For example:

      C:\Program Files

      ├── jboss-eap-7.3

      │ ├── bin

      │ └── ...

      └── jbcs-jsvc-<VERSION> 1.1

Checking JBoss after running the installation program

  1. Open a browser and enter the url http://server:9990 (or whatever port JBoss uses).

  2. Be able to log in to JBoss with the administrative username and password that you chose during installation.

Determining whether JBoss is Running

If JBoss is running, you should see the JBoss console when you open a browser and go to http://localhost:9990/ (use the correct port for the JBoss console).
