Installing WildFly on Windows

This tutorial covers WildFly application server installation and configuration as a Service on Windows.

First off, you need to download a JDK which is supported by WildFly. If you are not sure which one to download, check this article: Choosing the right JDK for WildFly and JBoss EAP 7 . Now Install the JDK : https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Once you have installed WildFly, set the JAVA_HOME as follows:

• Locate your Java installation directory.
• Click the Environment Variables button.
• Under System Variables, click New.
• In the Variable Name field, enter «JAVA_HOME»
• In the Variable Value field, enter your JDK or JRE installation path . .
• Click OK and Apply Changes as prompted.

Install WildFly on Windows

Navigate to https://wildfly.org/downloads/ and download the zip file with the latest stable version of WildFly application server. Unzip the archive and move to the «bin» folder.

Move to the folder «bin» which is under WildFly installation and start WildFly with:

The application server will start as you can see from the Console:

You can check that it’s running, by reaching the home page at localhost:8080

Installing WildFly as a service.

In order to install WildFly as service on Windows:

• Navigate to the dolder «JBOSS_HOME\docs\contrib\scripts\».
• Copy the service directory to JBOSS_HOME\bin
• Open an Admin Shell and navigate into the service folder
• Run «service.bat install«

Next open windows Services, you should see Wildfly installed, you can now start it from here and set it to automatic:

Installation Guide

© 2020 The original authors.

Zipped distribution, Galleon provisioning or bootable JAR, this guide helps you identify the installation strategy that best fits your application requirements.

1. Installing WildFly from a zipped distribution

Downloading the WildFly release zip and unzipping it is the traditional way to install a complete WildFly server with support for both standalone and managed domain operating modes. A WildFly distribution contains a large number of default configurations allowing you to select the server features and operating modes.

A WildFly distribution based installation is well suited when:

You want to rely on a traditional Jakarta EE application deployment.

You want a Jakarta EE or Eclipse MicroProfile platform compliant server that offers all Jakarta EE or MicroProfile features.

You are not (yet) concerned by server installation size and memory footprint.

You are not yet sure of the kind of operating mode and application you are targeting.

Your server instances will contain one or more application deployments.

If that is the kind of installation you are aiming at, the guides that you should read next are:

The Getting Started Guide shows you how to install, start and configure the server.

The Getting Started Developing Applications Guide shows you how to build Jakarta EE applications and deploy them to WildFly.

2. Installing WildFly with Galleon

Galleon provisioning tooling allows you to construct a customized WildFly installation according to your application needs. Some applications don’t need a fully featured server supporting all operating modes and containing all Jakarta EE capabilities. Galleon tooling allows you to select the server capabilities you want to see installed.

A WildFly server provisioned with Galleon is well suited when:

You want to rely on a traditional Jakarta EE application deployment.

You want to easily update an installation to the latest WildFly version.

Your application requires only a subset of the Jakarta EE or Eclipse MicroProfile platform APIs (although Galleon can provision a server that supports the full set of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile platform APIs).

You are concerned by server installation size and memory footprint.

You are only using standalone operating mode (with support for High Availability or not).

Your server instances will contain one or more application deployments.

If that is the kind of installation you are aiming at, the guides that you should read next are:

The Galleon Provisioning Guide shows you how to provision customized WildFly server using Galleon.

The Getting Started Developing Applications Guide shows you how to build Jakarta EE applications and deploy them to WildFly.

3. WildFly Bootable JAR

A bootable JAR contains both a customized WildFly server and your deployment. Such a JAR can then run with a simple java command such as java -jar myapp-bootable.jar

A bootable JAR is built using Maven. You need to integrate the bootable JAR Maven plugin in the Maven project of your application.

A Bootable JAR is well suited when:

You want to leverage your existing WildFly applications.

You want to build a microservice composed of a server and a single application deployment.

You are concerned by JAR size and memory footprint.

You are only using standalone operating mode (with support for High Availability or not).

You are building your application using Maven.

If that is the kind of installation you are aiming at, the guide that you should read next is:

The Bootable JAR Guide shows you how to package your application and the WildFly server into a bootable JAR.

Установка сервера приложений WildFly

Сервер приложений это то место где будут жить и работать наши приложения. Для наших разработок будем использовать сервер приложений WildFly (прежнее наименование JBoss Application Server или JBoss AS) от компании Red Hat. Удачная реализация принципов Java Enterprice Edition позволяет WildFly конкурировать не только с серверами приложений с открытым исходным кодом, но и с коммерческими серверами.

На момент создания материала доступна стабильная версия WildFly — 10.1.0.Final. Для загрузки дистрибутива сервера переходим на официальный сайт wildfly.org. В разделе Download выбираем zip-архив Java EE7 Full & Web Distribution. После скачивания, содержимое архива необходимо распаковать в каталог созданного нами окружения D:\JavaSoftware\WildFly. Содержимое каталога после распаковки представлено на снимке ниже:

Сразу стоит отметить, что WildFly может быть запущен на выполнение как отдельный сервер (standalone) так и в режиме кластера (domain), для распределения нагрузки. Настройки сервера для запуска в различных режимах расположены соответственно в каталогах domain и standalone. Для организации разработок будем использовать режим — standalone. Более подробную информацию о сервере можно получить на официальном сайте wildfly.org.

Для первого запуска сервера, необходимо указать месторасположения JDK. Для этого переходим в каталог D:\JavaSoftware\WildFly\Bin. Открываем на редактирование файл standalone.conf.bat. Следует откорректировать два параметра JAVA_HOME и JAVA. После внесения изменений значения параметров должны иметь следующий вид:

Вот и вся первоначальная минимально необходимая установка. Сервер приложений WildFly готов к первому запуску. Для старта сервера приложений, в каталоге D:\JavaSoftware\WildFly\Bin запускаем на выполнение файл standalone.bat. После запуска WildFly в консоли будут выведены параметры JVM и месторасположение Java, смотрите на снимке ниже:

Обратите внимание на место расположения jdk. Далее по ходу загрузки не должно быть сообщений об ошибках. Если путь к jdk соответствует введенному в файле конфигурации и ошибок не выявлено, следовательно настройки выполнены корректно. С целю убедиться что сервер-приложений работает необходимо открыть браузер и в адресной строке набрать: http://localhost:8080/ Вы попадете на страницу приветствия. Если Вы видите изображение представленное на снимке ниже — сервер работает:

Остановить выполнение WildFly можно нажатием комбинации клавиш Ctrl-C в активном окне консоли сервера. Будет запущен процесс остановки сервера приложений (shutdown).
