How to deploy .war file to JBoss AS 7 server using Maven?

Question

I have "pom.xml" file which is connecting to maven and checking out the code and creating a war file. Now I have to deploy the created war file to JBoss Application Server 7. Below is my pom.xml.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org /2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0             http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

Please give me the steps to deploy my war file to the Jboss Server.

Answer 1

First, use bin/add-user.sh to add management user.

Then, store that into your settings.xml.

<profiles>

    <profile>
        <id>myproject-prod<id>
        <activation><activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault></activation>
        <properties>
            <myproject.deploy.pass.prod>mySecretPassword</myproject.deploy.pass.prod>
        </properties>
    </profile>

</profiles>

Then, configure the pom.xml.

<properties>
    <jboss-as.deploy.hostname>localhost</jboss-as.deploy.hostname>  <!-- Where to deploy. -->
    <jboss-as.deploy.user>admin</jboss-as.deploy.user>
    <jboss-as.deploy.pass>${myproject.deploy.pass.prod}</jboss-as.deploy.pass>
    <plugin.war.warName>${project.build.finalName}</plugin.war.warName>
</properties>

...

    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.3</version>
            <configuration>
                <filteringDeploymentDescriptors>true</filteringDeploymentDescriptors>
                <warName>${plugin.war.warName}</warName>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>            

        <!-- JBoss AS plugin to deploy the war. -->
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>7.4.Final</version>
            <configuration>
                <force>true</force>
                <hostname>${jboss-as.deploy.hostname}</hostname>
                <username>${jboss-as.deploy.user}</username>
                <password>${jboss-as.deploy.pass.prod}</password>
                <fileNames>
                    <fileName>target/${plugin.war.warName}.war</fileName>
                </fileNames>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>

and then simply...

mvn clean deploy;

This is reduced from one JBoss project, may contain typos, but should work.
