After jumping through a few hoops I managed to get Archvia 1.1.3 successfully deployed to JBoss 4.2.3.

Set the appserver.base and appserver.home properties by adding the following lines to $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh and restart JBoss.

Now create data source deployment descriptors for the archiva and users databases and copy them to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy. I am using MySQL 5.1 to as my database server.

archiva-ds.xml

users-ds.xml

Add WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml to the .war file.

WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

Remove the following from the WEB-INF/lib folder of apache-archiva-1.1.3.warbecause they will cause conflicts with:

• commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
• log4j-1.2.14.jar

Copy apache-archiva-1.1.3.war to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy.
