Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments (local development) only.

Preferences

Before beginning this tutorial, be sure to set up your Visual COBOL environment as specified in the Set Build and Interface Mapper Preferences topic.

Third-party Software

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

This tutorial provides instructions for using JBoss Application Server version EAP 6.4. Therefore, to complete the tutorial successfully, install and configure the JDK and JBoss software as required.

JDK 1.8

The Java JDK version 1.8 is installed automatically with Visual COBOL. No further configuration is required.

JBoss EAP 6.4

Using any text editor, edit the standalone.xml configuration file located in standalone/configuration, under your JBoss installation directory.

Edit the <archive-validation>, child of the <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jca:1.1"> element, to disable it:

<archive-validation enabled="false" fail-on-error="true" fail-on-warn="false"/>

As a child of <profile>, add the following <subsystem> to standalone.xml:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.1">
	<resource-adapters>
		<resource-adapter>
			<archive>mfcobol-notx.rar</archive>
			<transaction-support>NoTransaction</transaction-support>
			<connection-definitions>
				<connection-definition class-name="com.microfocus.cobol.connector.spi.CobolNoTxManagedConnectionFactory" jndi-name="java:/eis/MFCobol_v1.5" pool-name="CobolConnectionFactory">
					<pool>
						<min-pool-size>2</min-pool-size>
						<max-pool-size>10</max-pool-size>
					</pool>
					<security>
						<application/>
					</security>
				</connection-definition>
			</connection-definitions>
		</resource-adapter>
	</resource-adapters>
</subsystem>
