Appendix A. Reference Material A.1. Amazon EC2 AMIs for Red Hat Cloud Access Program AMIs are a basic RPM install of JBoss EAP + JDK in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux image, with potentially an Amazon EC2 example configuration. Advanced scripting is no longer available, however regular bash scripts can be used. AMIs for Platform/JDK Combinations: RHEL 6 + Open JDK 8 (1 image) RHEL 7 + Open JDK 8 (1 image) Note Both platforms should be of 64-bit architecture. Maintenance of AMIs yum update should be run regularly, to apply z releases (patches) on EC2. New AMIs for the y releases (minor releases) will be provided by Red Hat. Scenario 1 (Supported) Sign up for EC2. Sign up for Red Hat Cloud Access. Select the Red Hat AMI from the list of available AMIs. (Optional) Customize JBoss EAP configuration using user scripts or ssh . Maintenance: yum update for z releases, new AMI for the y releases. A.2. Example Configuration Files and Deployments The following package adds example deployments for RHEL 7 AMI version: The JBoss EAP example configuration files contain a JGroups stack set up for the S3_PING protocol that can be used for creating clusters across EC2. For the exact location of the example configuration files, see System Paths . Both the configuration files contain the modcluster subsystem to use proxy mod_cluster discovery instead of advertising, because multicast is disabled on EC2. A.3.

Launching JBoss EAP on Amazon EC2 Using a Script The following sample script can be used to start JBoss EAP bound to a public IP address when you launch a JBoss EAP instance on Amazon EC2. A.5. Configuring JBoss EAP Subsystems to Work on Cloud Platforms Some JBoss EAP subsystems must be configured to work properly on cloud platforms, such as Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure. This is required because a JBoss EAP server is usually bound to a cloud virtual machine's private IP address, for example: 10.x.x.x , which is only visible from within the cloud platform. For certain subsystems, this address must also be mapped to a server's public IP address, which is visible from outside the cloud. A.5.1. Web Services When a client makes a web service request using Service.create(wsdlURL, serviceName); , the user connects to the server public IP address, but is subsequently redirected to an address defined in the server configuration files in the webservices subsystem. By default, this address is USD{jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1} , which means that on a cloud platform, the caller will be redirected to the server's private IP address and will be unable to resolve the request. The server's public IP address has to be configured in the wsdl-host element, using the following command: A.5.2. Messaging When using messaging on a cloud platform, the connection factory that the client uses must have a connector pointing to the server's public IP address. For this reason a new connector and socket binding must be created for JBoss EAP servers running a full profile. The referenced http-public socket binding must be created within the socket-binding-group : Create the new http-connector element in the messaging subsystem: Set the connectors in the connection-factory , which will be used by clients. For example, configuration of RemoteConnectionFactory as the default connection will be: A.5.3. Remoting Configuration for High Availability If you are using JBoss EAP HA features with clustered Jakarta Enterprise Beans on a cloud platform, some extra configuration for the remoting subsystem is required to ensure Jakarta Enterprise Beans clients can receive cluster view updates. This is done by configuring client-mappings for the remoting subsystem socket binding: A.6. Example User Data for Clustered JBoss EAP Instances The following examples show user data configured for several different server configurations. Example: File for Standalone Mode on RHEL6/7 Example: File for Starting a Clustered Domain Instance (Domain Controller) Example: File for Starting a Clustered Domain Instance (Host Controller) Revised on 2024-01-17 05:24:41 UTC
