In the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform's Installation Guide it states that the GUI installer configures JBoss EAP to run as a service on RHEL. In fact this is done only by the RPM installer.

Action required: Remove the incorrect statement.

The text in question is: "If the Enterprise Application Platform is installed using either the RPM Installation via the Red Hat Network or Installation using the Graphical Installer methods, it is installed as a service."

To confirm whether or not this is the case, please:
(1) Download the GUI installer from the Red Hat Network;
(2) Install JBoss EAP 5.1.2 using the GUI installer (on Fedora);
(3) Confirm if JBoss EAP is configured as a service.
