3.2 Installing JBoss Application Server software

Install and configure JBoss Application Server on each computer of the cluster. You can install multiple instances on any computer where you plan to implement vertical clustering. The Preparing to Install LiveCycle (Server Cluster) document describes the versions of JBoss Application Server that are supported for LiveCycle ES3.

Install the Adobe-preconfigured JBoss Application Server that is provided on the LiveCycle installation medium under the third_party directory. When you extract the third_party\jboss.zip file, the following sub-directories are created under the server directory:

  • (Single server) lc_oracle

  • (Single server) lc_sqlserver

  • (Single server) lc_mysql

  • (Cluster) lc_sqlserver_cl

  • (Cluster) lc_oracle_cl

  • (Cluster) lc_mysql_cl

Note: Only JBoss 5.1 is shipped as Adobe-preconfigured JBoss.

You can safely remove the directories that are not relevant to your configuration. For example, if you plan to use Oracle for Adobe-preconfigured JBoss in a clustering configuration, retain lc_oracle_cl and delete the other directories.

Note: The [appserver root]/server/all directory is relevant only for manually-configured JBoss. For Adobe-preconfigured JBoss, you can use a relevant database-specific directory mentioned above instead of the /all directory.
Important: Install only the Adobe-preconfigured JBoss Application Server described above, and then see the following sections of this document to configure the nodes for your cluster. Do not follow the JBoss configuration instructions that are described in Preparing to Install LiveCycle (Single server); they apply to a stand-alone configuration and are not appropriate for a clustered configuration.
