Release Notes


You can obtain the release notes here: community.jboss.org/wiki/AS711FinalReleaseNotes

Getting Started


JBoss AS 7 requires JDK 1.6 or later. For information regarding installation of the JDK, see www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html

JBoss AS 7 has two modes of operation: Standalone and Domain. For more information regarding these modes, please refer to the documentation available on the JBoss.org site:

docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Documentation

Starting a Standalone Server


An AS7 standalone server runs a single instance of AS7.

<JBOSS_HOME>/bin/standalone.sh (Unix / Linux)

<JBOSS_HOME>binstandalone.bat (Windows)

Starting a Managed Domain


An AS7 managed domain allows you to control and configure multiple instances of AS7, potentially across several physical (or virtual) machines. The default configuration includes a domain controller and a single server group with three servers (two of which start automatically), all running on the localhost.

<JBOSS_HOME>/bin/domain.sh (Unix / Linux)

<JBOSS_HOME>bindomain.bat (Windows)

Accessing the Web Console


Once the server has started you can access the landing page:

localhost:8080/

This page includes links to online documentation, quick start guides, forums and the administration console.

Stopping the Server


The JBoss AS7 server can be stopped by pressing Ctrl-C on the command line. If the server is running in a background process, the server can be stopped using the JBoss CLI:

<JBOSS_HOME>/bin/jboss-cli.sh –connect –command=:shutdown
