Third-party Software

To successfully deploy and access a Java service, you must have both the Java Development Kit (JDK) and a Java application server installed.

This tutorial provides instructions for using JBoss Application Server version 6.1. Therefore, to complete the tutorial successfully, install and configure the JDK and JBoss software as required.

JDK 1.7

After installation, set your system path statement to include the path to your JDK installation's bin directory. For example:

set path=c:\program files\java\jdk1.7\bin;%path%

JBoss 6.1

Using any text editor, edit the following JBoss files as specified here:

naming-jboss-beans.xml

Located in your JBoss installation's server\default\deploy (Windows) or server/default/deploy (UNIX) directory.

Set the callByValue property to true:

<property name="callByValue">true</property>

ear-deployer-jboss-beans.xml

Located in your JBoss installation's server\default\deployers (Windows) or server/default/deploy (UNIX) directory.

Set the isolated property to false:

<property name="isolated">false</property>

Set the callByValue property to true:

<property name="callByValue">true</property>

ejb-deployer-jboss-beans.xml

Located in your JBoss installation's server\default\deployers (Windows) or server/default/deploy (UNIX) directory.

Set the callByValue property to true:

<property name="callByValue">true</property>

war-deployers-jboss-beans.xml

Located in your JBoss installation's server\default\deployers\jbossweb.deployer\META-INF (Windows) or server/default/deployers/jboss-web.deployer/META-INF (UNIX) directory.

Set the java2ClassLoadingCompliance property to true:

<property name="java2ClassLoadingCompliance">true</property>

jboss-ra.xml (optional)

Included in the mfcobol-notx.rar archive file located by default in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\javaee\javaee6\jboss6 (Windows) or $COBDIR/javaee/javaee6/jboss6 (UNIX) directory.
