Download Astroboa bundled with JBoss

 

1. Make sure you have installed JAVA and you have defined an environment variable named JAVA_HOME
   which points to a JDK installation (not a JRE one).
2. Append  (if not already appended)  the environment variable PATH with the entry
   %JAVA_HOME%/bin (windows) $JAVA_HOME (Linux, OS)
3. Extract the archive to a folder of you r preference. (Note for windows users: It is recommended to extract the archive in a root folder, c: for example, in order to avoid the filename length restriction)
4. Execute the command
   

    <INSTALL_FOLDER>/bin/run.sh   (Linux, OS)  

    <INSTALL_FOLDER>\bin\run.bat   (Windows)

5. Once the JBoss is up and running, visit the following URL
   
       http://localhost:8080/console

6. Login using the following credentials

    User Name : SYSTEM
    Password : betaconcept

Please note that this installation utilizes Apache Derby instead of Postgres and it is NOT MEANT for production use. If you want to use Astroboa in production environments, you should download stand-alone distribution which uses PostgreSQL RDBMS.

By default, it uses 1024MB of memory. You can set your own memory settings in the following configuration file

<INSTALL_FOLDER>\bin\run.conf.bat (windows)

rem # JVM memory allocation pool parameters - modify as appropriate.
set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -XX:PermSize=256M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

<INSTALL_FOLDER>/bin/run.conf (linux, OS)

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -XX:PermSize=256M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

 by providing the necessary values at the following parameters

-Xms (lower limit)

-Xmx (upper limit)

You will have to restart JBoss for changes to take effect. Finally, if you want to gracefully stop JBoss you have to execeute the command

<INSTALL_FOLDER>\bin\shutdown.bat -S (windows)

<INSTALL_FOLDER>/bin/shutdown.sh -S (linux, OS)
