Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Administration I

Running Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) as a standalone server provides a way to run a single instance of EAP with a single server.

The default configuration for a standalone server is contained within the standalone.xml configuration file.

Port offsets avoid port conflicts when multiple instances of JBoss EAP are running on the same host.

The three directories required to use as a JBoss EAP base directory are: deployments, lib, and configuration.

Extensions are modules that extend the core capabilities of the server.

The profile section of the standalone.xml file includes a collection of subsystem child elements, each with its own custom configuration scheme.

Red Hat does not recommend the direct edition of the standalone.xml file. Instead, you should use the management command-line interface (CLI) tool or the management console.

You can override runtime properties at the command line by using the -D option when starting the server.
