In a series of blog entries I will explain how to deploy different types of ADF11g applications on JBoss5. The first application that we are going to deploy is a simple ADF Faces application that doesn't use the ADFm to bind the UI with the business services. In this case we can use backing bean code to leverage business services from the application.
Requirements:
For this sample we need to download and install JBoss 5.0GA and JDeveloper 11g. For this case we are not going to access any data from a database. I'll cover this in upcoming entries.
Establish a connection from JDeveloper to the JBoss Server
Go to IDE Connections the right hand side of JDeveloper and create a new application server connection to JBoss that points to the deploy folder
Creating the ADF Faces Simple Application
I created a simple ADF Faces application with the following structure.
As you can see I created a couple of JSPX pages (login.jspx and hello.jspx) using ADF Faces Rich Components and a customized template (myOwnThreeColumn.jspx). I made and initial attempt to use the /oracle/templates/threeColumTemplate.jspx from JDeveloper but this template is part of a jar file that is included within JDeveloper for design WLS and wont be deployed to JBoss unless you include it into your project.
Also notice that I have defined a navigation case in the faces-config.xml file -from the login page to the hello page that, is enabled through a a backing bean (ADFLoginBean.java) custom logic on the ActionListener of the login button.
Required Libraries
In order to deploy the ADF Faces application we need to include the following libraries in the lib directory of the JBoss server
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.adf.share_11.1.1\adflogginghandler.jar
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.adf.share_11.1.1\adf-share-support.jar
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.adf.share.ca_11.1.1\adf-share-base.jar

<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.jmx_11.1.1\jmxspi.jar
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.jps_11.1.1\jps-api.jar
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.mds_11.1.1\mdsrt.jar
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.xdk_11.1.1\xml.jar
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.xdk_11.1.1\xmlparserv2.jar
<JDevHome>\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.xmlef_11.1.1\xmlef.jar
Deploying the Application
Go to your project properties and edit the deployment profile-> Select JBoss for the platform. Then right click on the project name and deploy to your JBoss connection.
Verify in the JBoss console that there are none errors of deployment, after that access your application on the browser.
In following entries I will cover how to deploy an application that makes use of the ADFm.

thanks for this article. For a few weeks, I've been seeking for an article that shows how to deploy ADF 11g applications into JBoss app server. And now I found your article, that help me a lot !
I'll be waiting for the next article on this series !

Great article. I will be waiting for article where you show how to use business components on JBoss (I spend on it much time, but I still can't do that)

Hi Kety,
Remember that this is for an ADF Faces stand alone application, by this I mean that if you are adding ADFm bindings, or ADF Business components it is expected that you get an error.
What I can suggest is that you validate that all of the libraries are included and that you are using JBoss 5GA and JDev11g. After that feel free to post your question on the JDeveloper Forum
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=83
We can follow up from there.
