Installing JBoss 7.1.1.Final on CentOS 6.x
Introduction
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to download, install, start and stop a JBoss 7.1.1.Final server on
CentOS 6.x. We use OpenJDK 6 for this tutorial. This is the same installation procedure we use to create our
Open Source Architect JBoss 7.1.1.Final CentOS ami.
This tutorial consists of the following steps
Step 1: JDK installation and verification
Step 2: Download JBoss and the installation procedure
Step 3: Create the appropriate user
Step 4: Start our new JBoss server and verify that the server has started properly
Step 5: Stop the new JBoss server and verify that the server has shutdown properly
Step 1: JDK Installation and verification
The first step before installing JBoss AS 7, is to install a JDK. Any JDK can be used, such as Sun JDK,
OpenJDK, IBM JDK, or JRocket etc. We chose Open JDK 6 for this tutorial, because it is the new Java
reference implementation starting with Java 7.
NOTE: JDK 7 and above can also be used with JBoss. A JRE is also sufficient to run JBoss 7, however a JRE
does not include some of the additional feature of a JDK.
Installing OpenJDK:
Issue the following command to install the JDK:
$ su -c "yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel"
Confirming the install:
Issue the following command to confirm that the proper version of the JDK is on your classpath:
$ java -version
NOTE: For our installation, we are not defining a explicit JAVA_HOME for JBoss AS 7. The default works in
this situation, because we dont have multiple java versions installed. For most production environments with
multiple versions of Java, it is recommended to set the JAVA_HOME in the standalone.conf or domain.conf

files.
Step 2: Download JBoss and the installation procedure
The next step is to download the appropriate version of JBoss AS 7. We will download the .zip version of
JBoss AS 7, and install it using the unzip utility.
Downloading JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final:
Issue the following wget to download jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.zip:
wget http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.zip
NOTE: jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.zip can also be downloaded with your favorite browser from the
http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/ page.
Installing JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final:
Next, we issue the following unzip command to finally install jboss-as-7.1.1.Final in the /usr/share directory:
$ unzip jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.zip -d /usr/share
Alternatively, any directory can be chosen for the JBoss 7 installation.
Step 3: Create the appropriate user
Now that JBoss AS 7, is installed, we need to make sure that we create a user with the appropriate privileges.
It is never a good idea to run JBoss as root for various reasons.
Create the new user:
We create a new user called jboss by issuing the following command:
$ adduser jboss
Alternatively, any username can be used.
Change ownership of the installation directory:
We need to assign the appropriate ownership to the installation directory for the newly created jboss user by
issuing the command:
$ chown -fR jboss.jboss /usr/share/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/
Switch user to the jboss user:
We switch to the jBoss user, so that this new installation can be administered properly. It is not recommended
to administer JBoss as root.
$ su jboss

Now, lets change directories to the JBoss bin directory. This dorectory contains the necessary scripts to start,
stop and manage your JBoss installation.
$ cd /usr/share/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/bin/
Add a jboss management user:
The final step before we start JBoss, is to add a management user. This is an internal JBoss management user,
necessary to access the new JBoss management console.
$ ./add-user.sh
You should see the following message on the console after executing the command:
What type of user do you wish to add?
a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)
b) Application User (application-users.properties)
(a): a
We select a, next you should see the following message:
Enter the details of the new user to add.
Realm (ManagementRealm) :
Username : jboss
Password :
Re-enter Password :
* hit enter for Realm to use default, then provide a username and password
We select the default value for the Realm (ManagementRealm), by hitting enter, and select jboss as our
username. By default, we supply jb0ss as our password, of course, you can provide any password you
prefer here.
Step 4: Start the JBoss AS 7 server:
Once the appropriate JBoss users are created, we are now ready to start our new JBoss AS 7 server. With
JBoss AS 7, a new standalone and domain model has been introduced. In this tutorial, we focus on starting up
a standalone server. The domain server will be part of a future tutorial.
Startup a JBoss 7, standalone instance:
A standalone instance of JBoss 7 can be starting by executing:
$ ./standalone.sh -Djboss.bind.address=0.0.0.0 -Djboss.bind.address.management=0.0.0.0&
NOTE: By default, JBoss 7 will only bind to localhost. This does not allow any remote access to your jboss
server. For our amazon aws installation, we define the jboss.bind.address property as 0.0.0.0 and
jboss.bin.address.management property to 0.0.0.0 as well. This allows us to access the remote JBoss amazon
instance over the internet. We could have also defined the hostname of the ami or the ip address. However,
unless an elastic ip is used, this value can change. This is why we opted for 0.0.0.0.
You should see the following messages on the console after executing the command for a successful startup:

Test your JBoss 7 installation:
A good indication of a successful startup is that you can login to the JBoss admin console. Type in the
following in your browser window, where yourip should be replaced with the address of your amazon ami:
http://yourip::9990/
This should provide you access to the new admin console, which will be the topic of a future tutorial.
Step 5: Stop the JBoss AS 7 server:
After successfully starting up JBoss 7, lets demonstrate how to shut your JBoss server down in this section.
Shutdown a JBoss 7 instance:
To shutdown your JBoss 7 server, execute the following command:
$ ./jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown
Just like most of our tutorials, if you want to test the final result of this tutorial, |opensourcearchitect| has
provided a complete JBoss 7 installation as an ami here:
us-east-1 ebs 64bit ami-5de44e34
This ami was created following this tutorial, and serves as the end result for your reference or use.
