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.

Create the following directory 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 %COBDIR%\bin directory to the main directory.

In the main directory, 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 directory should contain the following files:

mfcobolrts.jar
module.xml

In Eclipse, in the project that will be deployed, add a MANIFEST.MF file, in the META-INF directory, that contains the following:
```
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Dependencies: com.microfocus.cobol.runtime
Class-Path:
```
Note: Ensure the order of the properties is as shown here.
