jboss5 + seam on FreeBSD

  1. Install jboss5 port
  2. ln -sf /var/jboss5 /usr/local/share/jboss5/server
  3. edit /etc/rc.conf: 
    jboss5_enable="YES"
jboss5_jvm_opts="-server -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m \
-Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true \
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 \
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Djboss.bind.address=0.0.0.0 \
-Djava.awt.headless=true"

    Notice the jboss.bind.address and java.awt.headless=true (to prevent annoying warnings about missing X11).

  4. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf: 
    kern.ps_arg_cache_limit=1024

    Necessary for the shutdown script to work

  5. Add 
    jboss.home=/usr/local/share/jboss5

    to seam’s build.properties
