Question

I’m deploying a war to a remote JBoss 5.1.0 using the following POM config

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
        <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.2</version>
        <configuration>
            <container>
                <containerId>jboss51x</containerId>
                <type>remote</type>
            </container>
            <configuration>
                <type>runtime</type>
                <properties>
                    <cargo.hostname>localhost</cargo.hostname>
                    <cargo.remote.username>****</cargo.remote.username>
                    <cargo.remote.password>****</cargo.remote.password>
                </properties>
            </configuration>
            <deployer>
                <type>remote</type>
                <deployables>
                  <deployable>
                    <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                    <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
                    <type>war</type>
                    <properties>
                        <context>/${project.artifactId}</context>
                    </properties>
                  </deployable>
                </deployables>
            </deployer>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>start-container</id>
                    <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>deployer-deploy</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
                <execution>
                    <id>stop-container</id>
                    <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>deployer-undeploy</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
                <execution>
                    <id>verify-deploy</id>
                    <phase>install</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>deployer-deploy</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution> 
                <execution>
                    <id>clean-undeploy</id>
                    <phase>pre-clean</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>deployer-undeploy</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution> 
            </executions>
      </plugin>

It works fine and the web project is UP via http://localhost:8080/my-web-project/

But there’s no trace of it in the JBoss AS admin console (http://localhost:8080/admin-console/)

Is it normal ?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Remote deployment on JBoss AS with Cargo has been only partially supported during a long time, and this might explain the problem. This was logged in CARGO-416 which has been fixed in Cargo 1.0.3.

So, as of Cargo 1.0.3, remote deployment on JBoss should be now fully supported and is documented in the dedicated JBoss Remote Deployer wiki page. Give it a try.
