2.5. Bootstrap
The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5 bootstrap is similar to the bootstrap in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4 in that the
org.jboss.Main entry point loads an org.jboss.system.server.Server implementation. In JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4 this was a JMX-based microkernel. In JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5, this is a JBoss Microcontainer.
The default JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5
org.jboss.system.server.Server implementation is org.jboss.bootstrap.microcontainer.ServerImpl. This implementation is an extension of the kernel basic bootstrap that boots the MC from the bootstrap beans declared in {jboss.server.config.url}/bootstrap.xml descriptors using a BasicXMLDeployer. In addition, the ServerImpl registers install callbacks for any beans that implement the org.jboss.bootstrap.spi.Bootstrap interface. The bootstrap/profile*.xml configurations include a ProfileServiceBootstrap bean that implements the Bootstrap interface.
The
org.jboss.system.server.profileservice.ProfileServiceBootstrap is an implementation of the org.jboss.bootstrap.spi.Bootstrap interface that loads the deployments associated with the current server profile. The <PROFILE> is the name of the server profile being loaded and corresponds to the server -c command line argument. The default <PROFILE> is default.
