Deploying an Application with JBoss EAP and Apache Maven

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform provides an extensive Java EE-based application server to which we can deploy and manage our applications. Oftentimes, this can be as simple as deploying a provided WAR or EAR file to our configured server, but when we're creating development environments or otherwise want access to our pre-compiled application files, we can pair JBoss with Apache Maven, which will build our application before JBoss deploys it.

Challenge

Install Apache Maven

Install Maven using sudo yum install maven.
Challenge

Deploy the Application
1. Move into the kitchensink directory:
```
cd kitchensink
```
2. Review the contents. It contains a pom.xml file for building and deploying the project in Maven. The project itself is stored in the src directory, along with tests.
```
ls
```
3. Deploy the application:
```
sudo mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
```
4. Visit PUBLICIP:8080/kitchensink to ensure the application is working.
Challenge

Make a Change to the Application
1. Undeploy the application:
```
mvn wildfly:undeploy
```
2. Make a superficial change to the application:
```
vim src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/templates/default.xhtml
```
3. Update the title to add a change:
```
<title>Add a change!</title>
```
Challenge

Redeploy the Application
1. Deploy the application once more; notice how much faster it deploys this time:
```
sudo mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
```
2. Visit the application and take note of your change.
