11.5. Deploying the Qpid JCA Adapter on JBoss EAP 5

To install the Qpid JCA Adapter for use with JBoss EAP 5, transfer its configuration files to the JBoss deploy directory.

Procedure 11.1. To deploy the Qpid JCA adapter for JBoss EAP

Locate the qpid-ra-<version>.rar file. It is a zip archive data file which contains the resource adapter, Qpid Java client .jar files and the META-INF directory.
Copy the qpid-ra-<version>.rar file to your JBoss deploy directory. The JBoss deploy directory is JBOSS_ROOT/server/<server-name>/deploy, where JBOSS_ROOT denotes the root directory of your JBoss installation and <server-name> denotes the name of your deployment server.
A successful adapter installation is accompanied by the following message:
```
INFO  [QpidResourceAdapter] Qpid resource adaptor started
```
At this point, the adapter is deployed and ready for configuration.
