JBOSS - Profiles - socket binding - offset - Groups - Server

In JBOSS above are some common yet important terminology.

Each Server instance will fall under a group. It can follow its own socket binding.
Each group falls under a profile. Default , Full , Full-has etc

Based on socket binding default HTTP port and server offset we need to find out the server running http port. 

Getting the below error ? Global modules classes not available ?

Solution : This is just because your global module jar file is corrupted and can not be read. Delete and copy the jar properly.

Below is simple example of deploying the list of WARs from a props file and deploy into JBOSS.
---------Script 1 invokes script 2 and creates a log file---------
#!/bin/sh
datestr=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
./connectToCLLI.sh > AsocDeploymentLog_$datestr
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------SCRIPT 2 , reads props file and get the WAR file and Group information-------
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Setting JBOSS Env"
export JBOSS_HOME=/export/opt/jboss/jboss-eap-6.3
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/app/java/jdk/jdk160
export PATH=$PATH:$JBOSS_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export JB_CLI=$JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh
DEPLOYMENT_HOST=`nslookup \`hostname\` |grep Name | awk '/:/{print $2}'`
export HOME_DIR=/pbcf/ctfr1603/

echo "JBOSS Environment is ready and connecting to CLLI"
allDeployed=0
for LINE in `cat deploymentDescABC.props | grep -v "#"`
{
 VAL1=`echo $LINE |cut -d '|' -f1 `
 GROUPS=`echo $LINE |cut -d '|' -f2 `
 export WAR_FILE=$HOME_DIR$VAL1
 echo "Deploying $WAR_FILE now"
 #export COMMANDS="connect,deploy $WAR_FILE --force,quit"
 export COMMANDS="connect,deploy $WAR_FILE --server-groups=$GROUPS,quit"
 echo "COMMANDS is $COMMANDS"
 if $JB_CLI -c --controller=$DEPLOYMENT_HOST:9999  --commands="$COMMANDS"
  then
       echo "Deployment successful for $WAR_FILE !!"
 else
       echo "Deployment failed for $WAR_FILE "
       allDeployed=1
       break
 fi
}
if [ $allDeployed = "0" ]
  then
       echo "Overall deployment of all WARs is successful"
else
       echo "Overall deployment FAILED !!"
fi 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------Sample Props file -------------
 # list of WARs for ASOC Module
/abc/def/MyTestwar|G2
/abc/def/YourTestwar|G2
All WARs done#
----------------------------------------------

Sample Deploy and undeploy commands : 
 [jboss@hex0015 bin]$ ./jboss-cli.sh --controller=hex0015.abc.com:9999
You are disconnected at the moment. Type 'connect' to connect to the server or 'help' for the list of supported commands.
----------------------------
[disconnected /] connect
[domain@hex0015.abc.com:9999 /] deploy /ssd/etc/jboss_config/atp/csac/PressQuery.war --all-server-groups
[domain@hex0015.abc.com:9999 /]  undeploy PressQuery.war --all-relevant-server-groups
 

JBOSS global modules is one of the best feature provided by JBOSS to share all common jars / libraries in one place to be used across all WAR / EARs deployed.

To used jboss global modules we need to writed module.xml with list of jars under
/export/opt/jboss/jboss-eap-6.3/modules//../

/module.xml

Example : /export/opt/jboss/jboss-eap-6.3/modules/com/abc/main/module.xml

After having this module.xml and copying the required jars into dir :
/export/opt/jboss/jboss-eap-6.3/modules/com/abc/main

We need to add entry to the
domain.xml


               
                  
               
                false
                true
                false
   

But this is very important to add under rite profile. For example if you want to share these global modules under default profile your servers also should fall under the same default profile.
If you server exists under a group which follows full profile you should have this entry in the full profile.

Are you seeing below error in jboss host controller machine server logs continuously ?

How to print request and response XML data (HTTP communication information) in jboss server logs ? 

Set the below property to JVM process being run for jboss

-Dcom.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true

After writing sample client and while running many a times we get confused whether actual SSL handshake is successful or not with the provided keystore and password parameters , in such cases below parameter helps understanding ssl handshake details.
-Djavax.net.debug=ssl

Sample run command :

java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/spl/etc/iscks.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=csi123 -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/lps/etc/iscks.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=csi123 -Djavax.net.debug=ssl spl.isc.ISCWebServiceClient

And another common problem is that we want to see how soap request and response is happening .

in such case use the below java code in the client to see how soap request and response happens
-Djavax.net.debug=ssl

Other way :  with in java client code.
System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump", "true");
System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump", "true");
System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump", "true");
System.setProperty("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump", "true");
