I have just started working with ElasticSearch while creating a POC search application at work. I was wondering if anyone had experimented with running ElasticSearch in JBoss and could provide some direction as to how to accomplish this?

I did some years ago. I found that using a Transport Client was easier for me. If it's for a POC, I would probably go for a an embedded Node in the web application. This is what we did in [http://www.scrutmydocs.org/](http://www.scrutmydocs.org/) project but I did not test it on JBoss, only tomcat. Easy to start: just deploy a war and that is. May be you have more detailed questions or issues so far? -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 11 mars 2014 à 12:41:53, Craig Graham ([grahamcr.gvsu@gmail.com](mailto:grahamcr.gvsu@gmail.com)) a écrit: I have just started working with ElasticSearch while creating a POC search application at work.

Hi David, Thanks for the quick response. For the purposes of this POC we need to mock an environment where ElasticSearch is running similar to how it does "out of the box" in Jetty, except use JBoss instead. We would like to have an instance of JBoss which we can deploy ElasticSearch to and interact with it using the Java API. I have been looking around for any information about the possibility of deploying ElasticSearch in JBoss and how to do so if it is possible, but so far I haven't found much.

Craig, out of curiosity, what is the advantage of such deployment? Why you want to run JBoss server (or EAP) for each Elasticsearch node?

Hi Lukáš, Thanks for your reply. I don't think there is really any advantage. The company I work for likes to run everything on JBoss, therefore in order to make them happy we always have to explore JBoss as an option. The web application I am working on as a POC will run on JBoss and I am hoping to find a way to use ElasticSearch with it. I guess the better question I should have asked to be begin with is if anyone had any thoughts on what the best setup to have when developing a Java-Based web application running on JBoss?

Craig, for a POC, you can deploy a WAR into Wildfly (JBoss) with a TransportClient as a singleton, for example in a ServletContextListener, it works perfectly for me. You should not depend Wildfly instances on ES nodes. If frontend is not dependent on backend, you can scale out both independently, Wildfly and ES.

Craig, if you want you can also check how we do it for EAP6, [GitHub - searchisko/searchisko: Secure REST service to index, search, retrieve and aggregate content from heterogeneous sources.](https://github.com/searchisko/searchisko) (we use CDI) What we do is similar to what David already mentioned, we use embedded Node for development (works also on OpenShift) and TransportClient for production where Elasticsearch cluster can be scaled independently.

Craig, the war-es plugin uses a similar servlet-based approach. It is a disguised client node, not a TransportClient. The plugin is not ready for deployment as a WAR. You have to fix some of the code by yourself, maybe this helps: > Jörg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
