How to deploy WAR of Maven Project to JBoss server from Eclipse?

Question

I want to deploy WAR of Maven project to JBoss server. I know that from Eclipse Export->War deploy the WAR file to JBoss. But How can I do this for Maven Project. Any step b

Answer 1

Simply adding below plugin to POM.xml worked for me.

<build>
    ...
    <plugins>
        ...
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>7.9.Final</version>
        </plugin>
        ...
    </plugins>
    ...
</build>

Using command prompt one can deploy or undeploy the artifact.

  mvn jboss-as:redeploy
  mvn jboss-as:undeploy

Note: The above option uses http://localhost:9999 url to deploy the artifact to server. The Jboss server should be running in background before the command is executed.

Also one can use eclipse to execute above goals.

Step 1: Click on run configuration.

Step 2:Create a new Maven Build

Step 3:Update build details as shown.

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <id>copy-war</id>
                <phase>install</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>copy</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <artifactItems>
                        <artifactItem>
                            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                            <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
                            <version>${project.version}</version>
                            <type>${project.packaging}</type>
                            <overWrite>true</overWrite>
                            <outputDirectory>C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final_AMGEN\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\standalone\deployments</outputDirectory>
                            <destFileName>${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}</destFileName>
                        </artifactItem>
                    </artifactItems>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>

here <outputDirectory>"containes address of deployment folder in Jboss"</outputDirectory> put the given code accordingly in pom.xml

Answer 3

The correct format is:

<fileName>${basedir}/target/webapp.war</fileName>

Answer 4

Assumption

I am assuming that you have already installed the plugins for Maven for eclipse.

Installation

While selecting the project in project explorer select Run --> Run As --> Maven Install

Running Jboss

1. Go to Run --> Run Configurations..

2. Add new Maven Build

3. Name the Process, Select the Base directory that will be deployed as war

4. set the Goal --> jboss:start

By following the steps you can deploy every thing via Eclipse.

Have fun. :)

Answer 5

Use the following goals to deploy your war in Jboss folder

clean install jboss:hard-deploy

Answer 6

Well http://cargo.codehaus.org/Maven2+plugin could be a nice alternative, too.
