<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Where do I setup the server adapter? I see the jboss tools runtime detection, but don't really find the as7 server adapter or settings your talking about.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>There are a number of issues that I'm facing that we should try to make easier.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>1. I can easily run all 5 wars in the same local runtime each with unique localhost based urls using the context-root resulting from the war deployment name. These are mapped to 5 different express applications and need to have an updated jboss-web.xml that specified a / context-root since each application already has a unique dns name, for example, </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://localhost:8080/idp" target="_blank">http://localhost:8080/idp</a><span> deployes to </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://idp-sstark.dev.rhcloud.com/" target="_blank">http://idp-sstark.dev.rhcloud.com/</a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><span>Now I can certainly just use the same default context root of idp so that the url for the express app is </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://idp-sstark.dev.rhcloud.com/idp/" target="_blank">http://idp-sstark.dev.rhcloud.com/idp/</a><span>, but I'm looking into things users would want to do with a local vs paas deployment of their application. Currently I achieve this by exporting the war to the express app deployments directory, and then run an ant fixup script that overwrites the ipd.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml with another that overrides the context-root. I know I mentioned the need to have an exported context-root differ from what is deployed locally in another thread. If in the M4 there could be a setting that allowed one to specifiy an alternate jboss-web.xml (like the jboss-web-express.xml I use), that would overwrite the current WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml whent the war is exported, that would be helpful.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>2. The application I'm working on have references to each other, and as such, have pages/configuration that reference either a property or a default localhost based url. For example:</p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><</span><span class="s2">PicketLinkSP</span><span class="s3"> </span><span class="s4">xmlns</span><span class="s3">=</span>"urn:picketlink:identity-federation:config:1.0"<span class="s3"> </span><span class="s4">ServerEnvironment</span><span class="s3">=</span>"tomcat"<span class="s1">></span></p><p class="p2"> <span class="s1"><</span><span class="s2">IdentityURL</span><span class="s1">></span><span>${idp.url::</span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://localhost:8080/idp/" target="_blank">http://localhost:8080/idp/</a><span>}</span><span class="s1"></</span><span class="s2">IdentityURL</span><span class="s1">></span></p><p class="p2"> <span class="s1"><</span><span class="s2">ServiceURL</span><span class="s1">></span><span>${employee.url::</span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://localhost:8080/employee/" target="_blank">http://localhost:8080/employee/</a><span>}</span><span class="s1"></</span><span class="s2">ServiceURL</span><span class="s1">></span></p><p class="p3"><span class="s1"></</span>PicketLinkSP<span class="s1">></span></p><p class="p3"><span class="s1"><br/></span></p><p>Now I set the idp.url and employee.url settings in the express app .openshift/conf/standalone.xml server configuration file. It would be nice if there was a dual notion for the jboss as7 server runtime that allowed you to edit a local vs paas view. Right now there is an XML Configuration section under the server with just a Ports section. If there were Local and PaaS sections where two standalone.xml configuration could be managed that would be helpful.</p></div>
