=====================================
Welcome to JBoss Application Server 7
=====================================

Key Features
============
* Java EE 6
* Fast Startup
* Small Footprint
* Modular Design
* Unified Configuration and Management
* Distributed Domain Management
* OSGi

Getting Started
===============
JBoss AS 7 requires JDK 1.6 or later. You can check the Java version on your machine by typing "java -version"

JBoss AS 7 has two modes of operation :

Standalone
----------
If you just want to run a single Application Server instance on a single machine. This will be a familiar mode if you have used previous versions of JBoss AS.

<JBOSS_HOME>/bin/standalone.sh		(Unix / Linux)

<JBOSS_HOME>\bin\standalone.bat		(Windows)

Domain
------
If you want to manage multiple Application Server instances potentially across many physical machines.

<JBOSS_HOME>/bin/domain.sh		(Unix / Linux)

<JBOSS_HOME>\bin\domain.bat		(Windows)

Next Steps
----------
Once the server has started you can access the landing page at :

http:/localhost:8080

This page includes links to online documentation, quick start guides, forums and the administration console.

Troubleshooting
===============

If you have problems starting you may need to look at the boot log file which is also output to the screen on startup. For standalone mode, the boot log file is located at :

<JBOSS_HOME>/standalone/log/boot.log	(Unix / Linux)

<JBOSS_HOME>\standalone\log\boot.log	(Windows)

and for domain mode :

<JBOSS_HOME>/domain/servers/<SEVER-NAME>/log/boot.log	(Unix / Linux)

<JBOSS_HOME>\domain\servers\<SERVER-NAME>\log\boot.log	(Windows)

'localhost' is an alias for 127.0.0.1 and means your local machine. if your browser doesn't recognize 'localhost' then you may have a proxy configured - just make sure that 'localhost' is by-passed in your browser's proxy settings. 

JBoss AS assumes it can open certain ports - if you see error messages like "Address already in use 127.0.0.1:9990" then there is another process already using those ports. You'll need to stop those processes or change the JBoss AS port configuration to use unused ports.

Note : Ports below 1024 require super access under Unix and Linux.
