10.6.2. Deploy an Application with Maven

Prerequisites

Summary

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

Procedure 10.14. Deploy an application with Maven

  1. Open a terminal session and navigate to the directory containing the quickstart examples.

    Example 10.11. Change into the helloworld application directory

    [localhost]$ cd /QUICKSTART_HOME/helloworld
  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. View the results.
    • The deployment can be confirmed by viewing the operation logs in the terminal window.

      Example 10.12. Maven confirmation for helloworld application
