Jboss 4: Change default port 8080

1. Goto the deploy folder of the server instance you use. (ie default):  C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer

2. Find the file named server.xml inside that folder.

3. Look for the HTTP Connector section inside the server.xml where 8080 configuration is available. Change the port value to what ever the required port number:

<Connector port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}"   
         maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
         emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
         enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
         connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

PD. This change wiill be available when JBoss is restarted.

Jboss: Configuring Connection to MS SQL Server 2005

1. Delete JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/hsqldb-ds.xml

2. Copy JBOSS_HOME/docs/examples/jca/mssql-ds.xml to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy.

3. In the new copy of mssql-ds.xml, I edit the connection-url, user-name and password elements to match my local SQL db instance:
from:
<jndi-name>MSSQLDS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=MyDatabase</connection-url>
    <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
    <user-name>x</user-name>
    <password>y</password>
to:
    <jndi-name>DefaultDS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://172.16.9.198:1433;DatabaseName=TESTDATABASE</connection-url>
    <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
    <user-name>testuser</user-name>
    <password>testpassword</password>

notice that jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver was changed to jdbc:sqlserver

4. Delete the file JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jms/hsqldb-jdbc2-service.xml.

5. Copied JBOSS_HOME/docs/examples/jms/mssql-jdbc2-service.xml into the folder JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jms

6. In the new copy of mssql-jdbc2-service.xml, replace the string MSSQLDS with DefaultDS:
from:

<depends optional-attribute-name="ConnectionManager">jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=MSSQLDS</depends>

To:

<depends optional-attribute-name="ConnectionManager">jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=DefaultDS</depends>

8. Copy the MSSQL JDBC driver sqljdbc.jar to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib.

How to run Jboss on port other than 8080

On (4.0.2) release of JBoss , you need to edit the server.xml file located in $jboss_home/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar (assuming you are using the default configuration.

In that file, you need to change the port attribute in the Connector entry. e.g.

<Server>
<Service name="jboss.web"
className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.StandardService">

<!-- Change this value to the port you want to use. -->
<Connector port="8080"
