Installing SkyVault on JBoss

You can install and deploy the SkyVault WAR on the JBoss application server.
Ensure that JBoss is installed. Review the Supported Platforms page on the Support Portal for more information.

These steps assume that you know the path of the JBoss directory, which is represented as <JBOSS_HOME>.

  1. Download JBoss EAP.

    For information on the correct version to download for your version of SkyVault see Supported stacks.

  2. JBoss EAP has two installation options for Web Service support:

    • WSNative (selected by default)
    • WSCXF

    Make sure that you install JBoss with the WSNative option.

  3. To prevent interference with the Web Service stacks used by SkyVault, follow the instructions in the RedHat Support article:

    How to remove JBossWS from JBoss EAP 5.x

  4. Download the following file from the Support Portal.

    SkyVault-enterprise-4.1.10.zip

  5. Create a temporary directory in which to uncompress the file.

    When you uncompress the SkyVault-enterprise-4.1.10.zip file, the directory structure contains the files that you need for installing SkyVault.

  6. Copy the SkyVault-global.properties.sample file from the temporary directory to the <JBOSS_HOME>/server/default/conf directory.

    The SkyVault-global.properties.sample file is located in the <TEMP_DIR>/web-server/shared/classes directory.

  7. Edit the parameters in the SkyVault-global.properties.sample file to suit your environment.
  8. Save the SkyVault-global.properties.sample file without the .sample extension.
  9. Navigate to the <TEMP_DIR>/web-server/webapps directory.
  10. Copy or move the SkyVault.war and share.war files to the <JBOSS_HOME>/server/default/deploy directory.
  11. Follow the instructions for configuring JBoss for SkyVault.
