36 +=== Notes about JBoss ===
37 +
38 +I wouldn't consider myself a WAR expert, but I do deploy my WebObjects application using JBoss and it works very well.
39 +
40 +Have you tried a "Hello World" type example application? If you can get a simple application running under JBoss then you should be okay with a more complicated one. I suggest starting with "Hello World" and then adding a simple EOF and that should cover everything.
41 +
42 +There were a few tricky configurations in the initial setup. To be clear, I am using XCode, but it probably doesn't matter. Here are a few things to check.
43 +
44 +Check you jboss-web.xml file. You definitely need to configure this file properly if you are using EOF. The application will never get started properly without this file configured correctly.
45 +
46 +Make sure your deployment license gets built into the WAR file for deployment by setting the SERVLET//DEPLOY//LICENSE item.
47 +
48 +Make sure the servlet project settings are correct:
49 +
50 +* SERVLET//SINGLE//DIR//DEPLOY = NO//
51 +* SERVLET//TRUE//WAR = YES
52 +* SERVLET//WEBAPPS//DIR = /Library/JBoss/3.2/deploy
53 +
54 +Also, I explicitly defined a package for all of my classes. This prevents JBoss from complaining upon startup, however, JBoss still ran the application just fine anyway.
