Dear customer,

the package jboss provides a LSB compatible init script to start the JBoss
application server. You can start the server by hand:

    rcjboss start
    
or you can enable the init script to start the server automatically within
the system start up:

    insserv /etc/init.d/jboss

Note that although the server is started in a few seconds, it can take some
minutes before the server is completely initialized and fully functional.


The server is started with the default configuration out of box. You can
change the default configuration in /usr/share/jboss/server/default or you should
rather create your own configuration under /usr/share/jboss/server. Then do not
forget to customize also the variable JBOSS_CONFIG in /etc/sysconfig/j2ee
to point to your configuration:

For example, if you create the new configuration /usr/share/jboss/server/custom/,
and want to use it, you have to set:

    JBOSS_CONFIG="custom"

in /etc/sysconfig/j2ee.


Important!

Note that the server is started on the user jboss because it is safer from
the security point of view. Take in consideration that the server needs to
write some working data into the directory /usr/share/jboss/server/used_configuration.
Therefore the init script changes the file owner of this directory and all
its subdirectories to the user jboss before the server is being started.



Have a lot of fun,

				    Your SuSE Team
