Deploying Hawtio on JBoss EAP 6

In this article I describe how to successfully deploy Hawtio on JBoss EAP.

You would need

• JBoss EAP 6 (I have used JBoss EAP 6.2 which can be downloaded from here) 
• Hawtio Web-Application (the version 1.4.37 can be obtained from here)

Before actually deploying Hawtio you would need to do some small changes on hawtio-no-slf4j-1.4.37.war.

• To WEB-INF/lib/guava-15.0.jar add META-INF/beans.xml with the following content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:weld="http://jboss.org/schema/weld/beans"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_0.xsd
                           http://jboss.org/schema/weld/beans http://jboss.org/schema/weld/beans_1_1.xsd">
 <weld:scan>
   <weld:exclude name="com.google.**"/>
 </weld:scan>
</beans>

        as otherwise the application will not deploy successfully and will report the
        following error

• Add WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml as follows

<jboss-web>
  <context-root>/hawtio</context-root>
</jboss-web>

•  Add WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml as follows

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
    <dependencies>
      <module name="org.apache.log4j"/>
      <module name="org.slf4j"/>
      <module name="org.slf4j.impl"/>
    </dependencies>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

• Remove WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties

Now you can deploy hawtio-no-slf4j-1.4.37.war to JBoss EAP 6
