The Adobe-preconfigured
JBoss software is delivered as part of the LiveCycle media. This
is the simplest option for installing JBoss because advanced knowledge
of JBoss is not required.
If you intend to download a supported version of JBoss from the
internet, you must follow the configuration steps in 9 Appendix - Manually Configuring JBoss.
Adobe downloads EAP 5.1 archive from the Red Hat website and
configures it with the options required to run LiveCycle in a stand-alone
configuration. You can review these configurations in the next section.
Note: JBoss 5.1 deployment creates distinct directories
for the data sources for each database type under the [appserver
root]/server/ folder. Each database is prefixed with “lc_”. Thus,
data source files for MySQL, Oracle, and MS SQL databases are placed
in lc_mysql, lc_oracle, and lc_sqlserver directories, respectively.
In the following sections, lc_<db-name> is used to designate
these distinct directories.
If you download the Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) from
the Adobe web site, extract the lces_server_10_0_2_jboss_all_win.zip
(Windows) or lces_server_10_0_2_jboss_all_unix.tar.gz (Linux or
Solaris) file to your file system. After the main archive file is
extracted, extract the following directories: merge-modules, server,
and third_party.
Note: Be sure to keep the directory hierarchy unchanged
from the original ESD file.
The preconfigured JBoss software is located on the installation
media or electronic software distribution (ESD) in the /third_party
directory. The jboss.zip file contains the Adobe pre-configured
JBoss 5.1.
Depending on your installation requirements, copy the JBoss directories
and their contents to the location where you intend to install JBoss.
The JBoss installation has all the configuration steps completed
except for the steps detailed in 5.4 Database connectivity for Adobe pre-configured JBoss 5.1,
which you must complete if you plan to use MySQL. If you do not
intend to use a MySQL database, you must complete the appropriate
configuration steps for your database detailed later in this chapter.
Note: The preconfigured JBoss includes a number of JSafe JAR files,
which provide cryptography and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) related
FIPS-certified implementations in LiveCycle. When you install the
product files, these files are deployed in the [appserver root]/server/lc_<db-name>/lib
directory. Depending on the class loading, these JSafe JARs are
used, even if your applications have their own version of JSafe
JAR files.
