Hi Ryan, Let me preface this with: "I did this thru experimentation (the traditional way, I like to say), not with documentation. AND, I am not done experimenting... :)"
So, I may be doing this wrong, but it gives me what I want, a central location of .jars, and deployable applications that can be deployed via an http protocol. I created another directory under the jboss install's server/ called /netboot. At startup, it has only /conf directory. All the 'services' (-service.xml, etc.) deployed point to the http URL where the JARs required by their service are located. In my case, a local Apache instance's /htdocs/netboot/lib directory. Here is an example from my JBOSS_HOME/server/netboot/conf/jboss-service.xml: <!-- Loads Jars from HTTP URL --> <classpath codebase="http://localhost:80/netboot/lib"; archives="activation.jar,autonumber-plugin.jar,bcel.jar,castor.jar,counter-p lugin.jar,hsqldb.jar,hsqldb-plugin.jar, jaas.jar,javax.servlet.jar,jboss.jar,jbossha.jar,jboss-j2ee.jar,jboss-jca.ja r,jboss-jsr77.jar,jboss-management.jar, jbossmq.jar,jbossmx.jar,jbosssx.jar,jcert.jar,jmxri.jar,jmxtools.jar,jnet.ja r,jnpserver.jar,jpl-pattern.jar,jpl-util.jar, jsse.jar,jts.jar,log4j.jar,mail.jar,mail-plugin.jar,process-plugin.jar,prope rties-plugin.jar,scheduler-plugin.jar,tyrex.jar,xalan.jar" /> To netboot, I run: run.bat -c netboot. JBoss looks in the /server/netboot/conf directory, finds jboss-service.xml which says "hey, load my required jars from http://localhost:80/netboot/lib";, and I am off to the races! I also load any deployable apps as well like this.

Haven't tried it remotely. It is really cool, but takes forever to boot since it copies the jars thru http: rather than a nice local copy. My version is jboss3.0.2-tomcat4.0.4 and there is no crimson.jar.

I don't think crimson.jar is used in any 3.0++ version any more. I haven't tried this stuff, where are the files one needs? thanks david jencks On 2002.10.10 16:16:08 -0400 "Sonnek, Ryan" wrote: > has anyone out there used the netboot functionality of jboss 3.x?? i've > been working on it for a couple days with the example docs online now > with > no luck. > my setup is: > an apache 2.0 server hosting the jboss files at > http://localhost/jboss/server/default > <http://localhost/jboss/server/default> . > client is using this batch file run, \bin\run.bat --netboot > http://localhost/jboss <http://localhost/jboss> --config default > > the client hangs with no responce, and the apache logs don't show > anything > till i cancel the netboot client. then, apache shows that the client was > trying to get jboss/lib/crimson.jar. > with no activity or errors, i'm at a loss. anyone used this REALLY > APEALLING feature? > > > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> > <HTML><HEAD> > <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> > > > <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1106" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> > <BODY> > <DIV><SPAN class=060051120-10102002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff > size=2>has > anyone out there used the netboot functionality of jboss 3.x?? i've > been > working on it for a couple days with the example docs online now with no > luck. </FONT></SPAN></DIV> > <DIV><SPAN class=060051120-10102002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff > size=2>my > setup is:</FONT></SPAN></DIV> > <DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN > class=060051120-10102002> </SPAN><SPAN > class=060051120-10102002><FONT>an > apache 2.0 server hosting the jboss files at <A > href="http://localhost/jboss/server/default";>http://localhost/jboss/server/d efault</A>. > > </FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> > <DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN > class=060051120-10102002><FONT> client is using this batch file > run, > \bin\run.bat --netboot <A > href="http://localhost/jboss";>http://localhost/jboss</A> --config > default</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> > <DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN > class=060051120-10102002></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT> </DIV> > <DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN > class=060051120-10102002>the client hangs with no responce, and the > apache logs > don't show anything till i cancel the netboot client. then, apache > shows > that the client was trying to get > jboss/lib/crimson.jar.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> > <DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN > class=060051120-10102002>with no activity or errors, i'm at a loss. > anyone > used this REALLY APEALLING feature?</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> > <DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV></BODY></HTML> > ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
