Chapter 5. Installing Enterprise Web Server on Solaris

On Solaris, JBoss Enterprise Web Server can be installed in two ways:
  • from a ZIP file
  • from Solaris packages
Both installation ZIP files and Solaris packages are available at Red Hat Customer Portal; however, their installation differs. JBoss Enterprise Web Server is run in the same way regardless of whether it was installed from a ZIP or Solaris package.
