9.5.2. Deploy an Application with Maven

Prerequisites

Summary

This task shows a method for deploying applications with Maven. The example provided uses the jboss-as-helloworld.war application found in the JBoss EAP 6 Quick Starts collection. The helloworld project contains a POM file which initializes the jboss-as-maven-plugin. This plugin provides simple operations to deploy and undeploy applications to and from the application server.

Procedure 9.11. Deploy an application with Maven

  1. Run the Maven deploy command in a terminal session

    Open a terminal session and navigate to the directory containing the quickstart examples.
  2. Run the Maven deploy command to deploy the application. If the application is already running, it will be redeployed. 
    [localhost]$ mvn package jboss-as:deploy

  3. Confirm the application deployment

    • View result in terminal window

      The deployment can be confirmed by viewing the operation logs in the terminal window.

      Example 9.5. Maven confirmation for helloworld application
