In Maven, we can use the official JBoss WildFly Maven Plugin to deploy a web application (war file) to the WildFly application server.
Technologies tested :
- Maven 3.3.9
- WildFly 9.0.2.final
- WildFly Maven Plugin 1.1.0.Alpha5
P.S This Spring MVC web application will be used for this deployment test.
1. Deploy WAR To WildFly
1.1 Start WildFly in standalone mode.
$ ./wildfly-9.0.2.Final/bin/standalone.sh
=========================================================================
JBoss Bootstrap Environment
JBOSS_HOME: /home/mkyong/Desktop/wildfly-9.0.2.Final
JAVA: /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_66/bin/java
... Http management interface listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990/management
... Admin console listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990
... WildFly Full 9.0.2.Final (WildFly Core 1.0.2.Final) started in 2260ms ...
1.2 Declares wildfly-maven-plugin in the pom.xml file.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0.Alpha5</version>
</plugin>
1.3 Deploy with mvn wildfly:deploy
...
... WFLYUT0021: Registered web context: /spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT
... WFLYSRV0010: Deployed "spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war"
(runtime-name : "spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war")
Access http://localhst:8080/spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT
1.4 Undeploy with mvn wildfly:undeploy
...
... WFLYSRV0028: Stopped deployment spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war
... (runtime-name: spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war) in 50ms
... WFLYDR0002: Content removed from location /home/mkyong/Desktop/wildfly-9.0.2.Final/
... standalone/data/content/94/c65382716f33f1c7e506208ed21616815438b2/content
... WFLYSRV0009: Undeployed "spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war"
... (runtime-name: "spring4-mvc-maven-ajax-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war")
2. Update web context
By default, the filename of the war file (in target folder) will be registered as the web context. To custom it, define a deployment name by configure the name option like this :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0.Alpha5</version>
<configuration>
<hostname>127.0.0.1</hostname>
<port>9990</port>
<username>mkyong</username>
<password>password</password>
<name>spring4ajax.war</name>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In the above configuration, the spring4ajax will be the new web context path – http://localhst:8080/spring4ajax
Remember to add the .war suffix, otherwise, NO web context will be registered!
It doesnt work(((

Is there any way to deploy to multiple instance of wildfly
thanks for this article, i am able to deploy successfully but when i try to access it it says 404 not found.
Can this be used for production environment, if I have access the server’s terminal? lastly, is there any way to may it https ready? Thanks
