Useful CLI scripts in Domain mode

When running in Domain mode using the CLI can be tricky as you have to understand where your resources are located in the application server tree. Let’s see some practical examples:

How to configure a resource in a Domain

You have to reference the profile you are using. Example:

/profile=full/subsystem=ejb3/thread-pool=default:write-attribute(name=max-threads,value=10)

How to reach a resource available on a server

Some resources (notably datasources and JMS destinations) produce statistics on the server where they are available. Thus you have to reach the server node through the host:

/host=master/server=server-one/subsystem=datasources/data-source=MySQLDS/statistics=pool/
:read-resource(recursive=false,include-runtime=true)

/host=master/server=server-one/subsystem=messaging/hornetq-server=default/jms-queue=MY_QUEUE/
:read-resource(recursive-depth=0,include-runtime=true,include-defaults=false)

Handling server start/stop/restart/reload

How to start all server groups:

/server-group=main-server-group:start-servers

How to restart all server groups:

/server-group=main-server-group:restart-servers

How to stop all server groups:

/server-group=main-server-group:stop-servers

How to reload all server groups:

/server-group=main-server-group:reload-servers

A practical script for shutting down a domain (remember shut down the slave host at first!)

./jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=192.168.10.1:9990 /host=slave:shutdown

./jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=192.168.10.1:9990 /host=master:shutdown

How to un-assign an application from a Server Group

/server-group=main-server-group/deployment=web-demo.war:remove

How to remove an application from the Repository

/deployment=web-demo.war:remove

A practical bash script for deploying one application (pass the application as argument)

./jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=192.168.10.1:9990 --commands="undeploy $1 
--all-relevant-server-groups"

And to undeploy the application (pass the application as argument)

./jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=192.168.10.1:9990 --commands="deploy $1 
--server-groups=main-server-group"
