Alfresco directory structure after installing on JBoss

[nikes]

Hello all,

I am confused with various installation options of Alfresco.

If I install full Alfresco on windows then it gives directory structure as

C:\Alfresco\……….
other folders - alf_data, bin, extras, etcc….

but if I install only war file on JBoss then how to install all above components (bin, alf_data, extras) ?

Also if I install on JBoss or any existing application server, ho w can I get Alfresco start,stop options on Windows/start menu?

Thanks,
Nikesh

Alf_data is Alfresco's storage directory and you'll specify it in custom-repository.properties. If you are installing on production suggest putting this on a separate disk.
Bin are start up scripts, which basically call Tomcat's start up scripts and you don't need them.
Extras are just extras which you don't need.

If you install Alfresco as a war in JBoss, configure JBOss as a service and start / stop JBoss as a service from the Control Panel -> Services.
