4.3.5. Build and Deploy the JBoss EAP 5.1 Version of the Seam 2.2 Booking Application

Before migrating this application, you need to build the JBoss EAP 5.1 Seam 2.2 Booking application, extract the archive, and copy it into the JBoss EAP 6 deployment folder.

Procedure 4.15. Build and deploy the EAR

  1. Build the EAR: 
    $ cd /EAP5_HOME/jboss-eap5.1/seam/examples/booking
$ ANT_HOME/ant explode
  2. Copy the EAR to the EAP6_HOME deployments directory: 
    $ cp -r EAP5_HOME/seam/examples/booking/exploded-archives/jboss-seam-booking.ear EAP6_HOME/standalone/deployments/
$ cp -r EAP5_HOME/seam/examples/booking/exploded-archives/jboss-seam-booking.war EAP6_HOME/standalone/deployments/jboss-seam.ear
$ cp -r EAP5_HOME/seam/examples/booking/exploded-archives/jboss-seam-booking.jar EAP6_HOME/standalone/deployments/jboss-seam.ear
  3. Start the JBoss EAP 6 server and check the log. You see: 
    INFO [org.jboss.as.deployment] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) Found jboss-seam-booking.ear in deployment directory. 
    To trigger deployment create a file called jboss-seam-booking.ear.dodeploy
  4. Create an empty file with the name jboss-seam-booking.ear.dodeploy and copy it into the EAP6_HOME/standalone/deployments directory. You need to copy this file into the deployments directory many times while migrating this application, so keep it in a location where you can easily find it. In the log, you should now see the following messages, indicating that it is deploying: 
    INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-1) Starting deployment of "jboss-seam-booking.ear"
INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-3) Starting deployment of "jboss-seam-booking.jar"
INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-6) Starting deployment of "jboss-seam.jar"
INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-2) Starting deployment of "jboss-seam-booking.war"
    At this point, you encounter your first deployment error. In the next step, you walk through each issue and learn how to debug and resolve it.
