Installing SkyVault on JBoss

You can install and deploy the SkyVault WAR on the JBoss application server.

Ensure that JBoss and Java 8 are installed. Review the Supported Platforms page on the Support Portal for more information.

The following instructions:

Assume that you know the path of the JBoss directory, which is represented as <JBOSS_EAP_HOME>.
Are written for Windows Server 2008 R2 installation with MySQL as data source. See the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 guide for more details on JBoss EAP 6 configuration.

Browse to the SkyVault Support Portal.
Download the SkyVault-one-ear-distribution-5.1.3.zip file.
Create a temporary directory (the path for it is represented as <TEMP>) and uncompress the zip file here.
Create a module with SkyVault configuration.
1. Create a main directory, for example at <JBOSS_EAP_HOME>\modules\org\alfresco\configuration\main.
2. Copy the contents of <TEMP>\web-server\classpath to the <JBOSS_EAP_HOME>\modules\org\alfresco\configuration\main directory.
  
  Note: Do not set the database properties at this stage.
3. Modify the SkyVault-global.properties.sample file in the <JBOSS_EAP_HOME>\modules\org\alfresco\configuration\main directory.
  See Modifying the global properties file for more information.
4. Save the SkyVault-global.properties.sample file without the .sample extension.
5. Create the SkyVault configuration file, module.xml in the <JBOSS_EAP_HOME>\modules\org\alfresco\configuration\main directory with the following content:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="org.alfresco.configuration">
    <resources>
     <resource-root path="."/>
    </resources>
  </module>
```
6. Extract the EAR file and check the contents of the META-INF\jboss-deployment-structure.xml:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <jboss-deployment-structure>
   <sub-deployment name="alfresco.war">
    <dependencies>
     <module name="org.alfresco.configuration" />
      <module name="org.apache.xalan" />
    </dependencies>
   </sub-deployment>
   <sub-deployment name="share.war">
    <dependencies>
     <module name="org.alfresco.configuration" />
    </dependencies>
   </sub-deployment>
  </jboss-deployment-structure>                                           
```
