Configuring JBoss

To install the JVM COBOL run-time system (mfcobolrts.jar) in JBoss 7.1.1 or later, you must configure it as a module of the application server.

Set the environment variable JBOSS_HOME to point to the JBOSS application server installation location, for example: %Program Files%\JBoss\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final (Windows) or /usr/jboss/jboss-as-7.1.1 (UNIX).
Create the following folder structure: JBOSS_HOME\modules\com\microfocus\cobol\runtime\main (Windows) or JBOSS_HOME/modules/com/microfocus/cobol/runtime/main (UNIX).
Copy mfcobolrts.jar from the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\bin (Windows) or $COBDIR/bin (UNIX) folder to the main folder created in the previous step.

In the main folder, create a new file called module.xml, and add the following to it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.microfocus.cobol.runtime">
    <dependencies>
        <module name="javaee.api"/>
    </dependencies>
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="mfcobolrts.jar"/>
    </resources>
</module>

The main folder should contain the following files:

mfcobolrts.jar
module.xml
