To install using up2date / DVD:
up2date your installation and install the JVM as described above.
Mount the Red Hat Application Stack V.1.1 DVD.
Add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to use up2date directly on the RPMs on the disk:
dir RedHat-Application-Stack-V1 path_to_mounted_DVD/RedHat/RPMS
Install JBoss AS:
For the Application Server (which includes an embedded Tomcat), run:
up2date jbossas
After the installation is complete, remove the line you added to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources in Step 3. Failure to do this will result in up2date producing warnings whenever you run up2date again without mounting the Red Hat Application Stack V.1.1 DVD.
Refer also to Chapter 4, Using JBoss AS below.
Red Hat Application Stack V.1.1 includes two versions of JBossAS. The package 'jbossas' will function with both 1.4 and 5 JVMs. The package 'jbossas-ejb3' includes a technology preview of EJB3 (1.0.0-RC9) and requires a working Java 5 installation. Only one version may be installed at a time.
If you are upgrading from version 1 of Red Hat Application Stack and want to install the EJB3 package you must uninstall the 'jbossas' package first, and install a Java 5 JVM.
Please note that in order to use EJB3 ('jbossas-ejb3') you will need a working Java 1.5 installation. 'jbossas' can be used with 1.4.2 as before.
