Dear All, Can someone please explain what the official (or at least preferred and recommended) way to install JBoss AS is? We have installed JBoss 4.0.5.GA from the zip (jboss-4.0.5.GA.zip) and with the installers (jems-installer-1.2.0.BETA3.jar and jems-installer-1.2.0.CR1.jar). All three (server/default) installations are different. The results from the installers differ only slightly (e.g. in-memory transaction manager). But the results from unpacking the zip seems to be totally different. The files in the zip are dated from 23.10.2006, while the files in the installers are from 17.10.2006. Over 200 files are changed in size and content. The problem with this is, that to install our own application based on the default (to be more precise, on a derived Messaging) configuration, we have to modify some configuration files from the installation. This is rather difficult to achieve automatically, if the original files differ depending on the way they have been installed. So, what is the installation method to put your money on for the future? Any comments welcome. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3998197#...
