Starting -------- Start JBoss by running the jboss RC script found in /etc/init.d/. Do the regular 'rc-update jboss ' to automatically start JBoss upon entering a runlevel. Customizing the JBoss setup by changing the environment variables in /etc/conf.d/jboss. Refer to that file for further documentation on the environment variables used during startup. For security reasons, the application server is running as the 'jboss' user. This may be changed in the /etc/conf.d/jboss script, too. Logging ------- All configurations shipping with this ebuild have been set up to log to the /var/log/jboss/server file using a time/date based rolling file appender. While console logging is turned on for debugging purposes, standard out and standard err are redirected to /dev/null by default. This may be changed in /etc/conf.d/jboss. As the application server is running as 'jboss', you will have to tweak /dev/console's access permissions to allow jboss access to the device. Client applications ------------------- The jars required for compiling and running client applications are installed to /usr/share/jboss/lib. Add these jars to your classpath with the java-config command using either the --set-system-classpath or --set-user-classpath parameter. Enjoy! tho
