JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 includes a simplified directory structure, compared to previous versions. Following is a listing of the directory structure, and a description of what the directory contains.
Table 4.3. Top-level directories and files
Name | Purpose |
---|---|
appclient/ | Contains configuration details for the application client container. |
bin/ | Contains start-up scripts for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows. |
bundles/ | Contains OSGi bundles which pertain to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 internal functionality. |
docs/ | License files, schemas, and examples. |
domain/ | Configuration files, deployment content, and writable areas used when JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 runs as a managed domain. |
modules/ | Modules which are dynamically loaded by JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 when services request them. |
standalone/ | Configuration files, deployment content, and writable areas used when JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 runs as a standalone server. |

Table 4.4. Directories within the domain/
directory
Name | Purpose |
---|---|
configuration/ | Configuration files for the managed domain. These files are modified by the Management Console and Management CLI, and are not meant to be edited directly. |
data/ | Information about deployed services. Services are deployed using the Management Console and Management CLI, rather than by a deployment scanner. Therefore, do not place files in this directory manually. |
log/ | Contains the run-time log files for the host and process controllers which run on the local instance. |
servers/ | Contains the equivalent data/ , log/ , and tmp/ directories for each server instance in a domain, which contain similar data to the same directories within the top-level domain/ directory. |
tmp/ | Contains temporary data such as files pertaining to the shared-key mechanism used by the Management CLI to authenticate local users to the managed domain. |
Table 4.5. Directories within the standalone/
directory
Name | Purpose |
---|---|
configuration/ | Configuration files for the standalone server. These files are modified by the Management Console and Management CLI, and are not meant to be edited directly. |
deployments/ | Information about deployed services. The standalone server does include a deployment scanner, so you can place archives in this directory to be deployed. However, the recommended approach is to manage deployments using the Management Console or Management CLI. |
lib/ | External libraries which pertain to a standalone server mode. Empty by default. |
tmp/ | Contains temporary data such as files pertaining to the shared-key mechanism used by the Management CLI to authenticate local users to the server. |
