Overview
We create a simple systemd Type=oneshot unit file that delegates the work of starting and stopping the instance to the System V wrappers shipped with EAP installation bundle. Note that em applies all this configuration automatically.
systemd File Locations
Place the newly created unit file in /usr/lib/systemd/system and the companion scripts in /usr/lib/systemd/scripts. For more details, see systemd Unit File Location.
Install the Pre-Packaged System V Startup Scripts into Standard systemd Location
Copy the pre-packaged System V startup scripts (jboss-as-domain.sh, jboss-as-standalone.sh for EAP 6, jboss-eap-rhel.sh for EAP 7) from $JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d into /usr/lib/systemd/scripts.
Perform the following operations as "root", re-name the scripts as indicated below.
For a standalone installation, name the script jboss.
cp $JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/jboss
For a domain installation, name the script jboss-host-controller, regardless of whether we're configuring to start the domain controller or a subordinate host controller. This is because on the domain controller host, the domain controller process and the host controller process coincide.
cp $JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d/jboss-as-domain.sh /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/jboss-host-controller
Customize the WildFly Startup Wrapper
Create the Unit File
Create the /usr/lib/systemd/system/jboss.service (or the /usr/lib/systemd/system/jboss-host-controller.service) unit file. Maintain the same nomenclature for consistency:
Modify the environment variables JAVA_HOME, JBOSS_HOME , etc. to match your system's values.
[Unit] Description=EAP Service After=syslog.target network-online.target Before=httpd.service [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/jboss-host-controller start ExecStop=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/jboss-host-controller stop RemainAfterExit=yes Environment="JAVA_HOME=/opt/java" Environment="JBOSS_HOME=/opt/jboss" Environment="JBOSS_USER=eap" Environment="JBOSS_MODE=domain" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
After and Before
The name of the target used in "After" and "Before" declarations may vary from system to system. For example, "network.taget" on some system may be "network-online.target" on other systems. You can query the targets with systemctl list-units.
Notify systemd of the existence of the new unit file
systemctl daemon-reload
Enable at Boot
systemctl enable jboss-host-controller.service
