I need create 4 Applications running in different ports within JBOSS EAP 7.

  • APP A: Port 8080
  • APP B: Port 8081
  • APP C: Port 8082
  • APP B: Port 8083

I know that i need use port-offset in standalone.xml to configure it. But i need separate server.log and stop/start for each instance. So i have 2 solutions:

1) Copy entire jboss folder for each project. i.e: jbossA, jbossB ...

2) Create a instances folder in jboss folder a use server.base.dir argument, like this: -Djboss.server.base.dir=appA

Which is the usual choice to multiple jboss instances ?

  • We use different server base directories, eg:

    • standalone_appA
    • standalone_appB
    • standalone_appC
    • standalone_appD
  • We pass the -Djboss.server.base.dir argument to standalone.sh.
  • We have different standalone.xml for every app as they require different subsystems. If they are all the same for your case you can link them instead of copying.

1) You can create 4 different base directories, by copying the standalone folder and -Djboss.server.base.dir argument while starting the server.

2) But it would be better if you use domain mode and create 4 different servers in 4 different server groups. This will better from resource management and performance perspective.

  • You can keep autostart for each server to false and start and stop servers separately from management console or CLI.

    • Logs would be generated in respective server folders, which can be customized by setting path.
