Prerequisites for Deployment

• Installed Wildfly/JBoss Server: Download and install the latest version of Wildfly/JBoss from the official website.
• Java Development Kit (JDK): Ensure the JDK is properly installed and configured.
• WAR File Ready: Have your WAR file prepared and tested locally.

Start the Wildfly Server

Follow the below steps to start the server:

• Navigate to the Wildfly installation directory.
• Open the command prompt or terminal.
• Run the following command to start the server:

./standalone.sh # For Linux/MacOS
standalone.bat # For Windows

Ensure the server starts without errors by checking the logs.

Access the Management Console

Open your web browser and navigate to the Wildfly Admin Console:

http://localhost:9990

Log in using your administrator credentials.

Deploy the WAR File

Through the Admin Console

1. Navigate to the Deployments section.
2. Click on the Add Deployment button.
3. Choose the Upload Deployment option.
4. Browse your local system and select the WAR file.
5. Click Next and confirm the deployment.
6. Verify that the deployment status shows as \”Enabled.\”

Another Method

Manually Copy the WAR File

1. 1. Locate the deployment folder in the Wildfly installation directory:

<em><WILDFLY_HOME>/standalone/deployments</em>

• Copy your WAR file to this folder.
• Wildfly automatically detects the WAR file and starts the deployment process.
• Check the server log to confirm successful deployment.

Verify the Deployment

Open your web browser.

Access the deployed application using the following URL:

<em>http://localhost:8080/<application-context></em>

Replace <application-context> with your application’s context root defined in web.xml.

Troubleshooting Deployment Issues

• Check Logs: If deployment fails, review the server logs for error messages.
• Verify Configuration: Ensure all configuration files, such as web.xml, are correctly set up.
• Port Conflicts: Make sure no other services are using the default Wildfly ports.
