Setting Up OpenBlueDragon on JBoss and Tomcat
Updated Jun 30, 2010 by virtix

This is a quick start to show how to setup and deploy OpenBlueDragon on JBoss and Tomcat for Windows

This is NOT:

  • a detailed manual on JBoss or Tomcat
  • a detailed manual on Open BlueDragon
  • a detailed manual on MXUnit

This IS:

  • a quick download and get running doc
  • that's it ...

Tomcat Details

  1. Download Tomcat 5: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi
  2. Unzip to Hard drive: Example: C:\apache\apache-tomcat-5.5.26
  3. Download OpenBlueDragon for J2EE: http://www.openbluedragon.org/download.cfm
  4. Extract the openbluedragon.war contents to a folder called openbluedragon; e.g., jar -xvf openbluedragon.war. Place this folder in C:\apache\apache-tomcat-5.5.26\webapps
  5. Fire up a command prompt and navigate to C:\apache\apache-tomcat-5.5.26\bin
  6. Type startup in the command: C:\apache\apache-tomcat-5.5.26\bin>startup
  7. Your should see an INFO log message indicating deployment of openbluedragon
  8. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/openbluedragon/
  9. Add CFML files to C:\apache\apache-tomcat-5.5.26\webapps\openbluedragon

JBoss Details

  1. Download JBoss Application Server (4.2.2): http://www.jboss.org/downloading/?projectId=jbossas&url=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=16942&release_id=548923
  2. Unzip to Hard disk. Example: C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\
  3. Download OpenBlueDragon for J2EE: http://www.openbluedragon.org/download.cfm
  4. Copy the openbluedragon.war file to C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\deploy\
  5. Fire up a command prompt and navigate to C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\bin
  6. Type run in the command: C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\bin>run
  7. Soon, you should see this towards the bottom of the command prompt:
  8. 08:16:01,256 INFO  [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/jmx-console, warUrl=.../deploy/jmx-console.war/
    08:17:02,678 INFO  [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/openbluedragon, warUrl=.../tmp/deploy/tmp50888openbluedragon-exp.war/
    08:17:07,022 INFO  [Http11Protocol] Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-127.0.0.1-8080
  9. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/openbluedragon/

Alternative JBoss Deployment

  1. Unzip/Unjar the openbluedragon.war, e.g., jar -xvf openbluedragon.war
  2. Copy the extracted files to a folder; e.g., openblue
  3. Copy any ColdFusion applications to this folder
  4. Copy this folder to C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\deploy\
  5. You may have to restart JBoss

Deploy a web application, such as MXUnit

  • Place CFML files and web applications into C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\tmp\deploy\tmp50888openbluedragon-exp.war
  • Place CFML files and web applications into C:\apache\apache-tomcat-5.5.26\webapps\openbluedragon

To Do

  • Configuring ColdFusion applications: Datasources, mappings, etc..
  • How to bundle an CFML app w/OBD as a .war or .ear, and how to bundle it with Tomcat as a standalone app.
