Before deploying the Hello World quickstart, start two instances of your application server (either JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.x or WildFly 7.x). Start two instances of the selected application server as outlines in the following procedures.

Procedure 10.1. Start the First Application Server Instance

  1. Navigate to the Root Directory

    In the command line terminal, navigate to the root for your JBoss server directory.
  2. Start the First Application Server

    Depending on your operating system, use the appropriate command from the following to start the first instance of your selected application server:
    1. For Linux:
      $JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
      
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. For Windows:
      $JBOSS_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
