JBoss - know more about the JBoss directory structure

Fundamentally, the JBoss architecture consists of the JMX MBean server, the microkernel, and a set of pluggable component services - the MBeans.

The JBoss Application Server ships with three different server configurations. Within the <JBoss_Home>/server directory, you will find three subdirectories: minimal, default and all. The default configuration is the one used if you don’t specify another one when starting up the server.

If you want to know which services are configured in each of these instances, look at the jboss-service.xml file in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/conf/ directory and also the configuration files in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/deploy directory.

JBoss 4.0 features an embedded Apache Tomcat 5.5 servlet container.

conf --> The conf directory contains the jboss-service.xml bootstrap descriptor file for a given server configuration. This has the jboss-log4j.xml file which configures the Apache log4j framework category priorities and appenders used by the JBoss server code.
data --> The data directory is available for use by services that want to store content in the file system. It holds persistent data for services intended to survive a server restart. Serveral JBoss services, such as the embedded Hypersonic database instance, store data here.
deploy --> The deploy directory contains the hot-deployable services (those which can be added to or removed from the running server). You deploy your application code by placing application packages (JAR, WAR and EAR files) in the deploy directory. The directory is constantly scanned for updates, and any modified components will be re-deployed automatically.
lib --> This directory contains JAR files (Java libraries that should not be hot deployed) needed by this server configuration. You can add required library files here for JDBC drivers etc. All JARs in this directory are loaded into the shared classpath at startup.
log --> This is where the log files are written. JBoss uses the Jakarta log4j package for logging and you can also use it directly in your own applications from within the server. This may be overridden through the conf/jboss-log4j.xml configuration file. The file boot.log logs the JBoss startup and shut down notifications. This log is overwritten each time JBoss is (re)started.
tmp --> The tmp directory is used for temporary storage by JBoss services. The deployer, for example, expands application archives in this directory.
work --> This directory is used by Tomcat for compilation of JSPs.

ATG - more about Forms and Form Handlers

An ATG form is defined by the dsp:form tag, which typically encloses DSP tags that specify form elements, such as dsp:input that provide direct access to Nucleus component properties. Find below a sample dsp:form tag. <dsp:form action="/testPages/showPersonProperties.jsp" method="post" target="_top"> <p>Name: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.name" type="text"/> <p>Age: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.age" type="text" value="30"/> <p><dsp:input type="submit" bean="/samples/Person.submit"/> value="Click to submit"/> </dsp:form> When the user submits the form, the /samples/Person.name property is set to the value entered in the input field.Unlike standard HTML, which requires the name attribute for most input tags; the name attribute is optional for DSP form element tags. If an input tag omits the n...

ATG Search Indexing - behind the scene steps explained

Read more about the search indexing @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2011/11/atg-search-architectural-flow-search.html ATG search indexing involves index file creation, deploying and copying the index file to the search engine's box. The steps can be divided into Initial stage, Preparing Content, Indexing and Deploying. Please find below the detailed analysis of each step. 1. Initial stage: a. Check whether the folder deployshare configured correctly @ LaunchingService.deployShare ( \atg\search\routing\LaunchingService.deployShare ). Lets assume that it is configured to \Search2007.1\SearchEngine\i686-win32-vc71\buildedIndexFiles. b. Lets assume that the index file folder ( \Search2007.1\SearchEngine\i686-win32-vc71\indexFiles) has the following segments (folders) currently : 66900...

Good features of Eclipse 3.6 (Eclipse Helios) JDT

Read the Eclipse Galileo features @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2011/10/good-features-of-eclipse35-eclipse.html New options in Open Resource dialog : The Open Resource dialog supports three new features: • Path patterns: If the pattern contains a /, the part before the last / is used to match a path in the workspace: • Relative paths: For example, "./T" matches all files starting with T in the folder of the active editor or selection: • Closer items on top: If the pattern matches many files with the same name, the files that are closer to the currently edited or selected resource are shown on top of the matching items list. MarketPlace : Searching and adding new plugins for Eclipse have always been a challenge. The Eclipse Marketplace makes this much easier – it allows you to not only search a central location of all Eclipse plugins, but also allows you to find the most recent and the most popular plugins.
