Starting up and stopping a domain

Starting up a WildFly domain is simply a matter of running the JBOSS_HOME\bin\domain.sh script (JBOSS_HOME\bin\domain.bat on Windows). In a matter of seconds, your domain will be up and running. Have a look at the following screenshot:

In order to stop the application server domain, you can either use the Ctrl + C shortcut in the same window in which you started the domain, or you can use the command-line client and issue the shutdown command to the host controller.

Unix/Linux users can issue the following command:

./jboss-cli.sh --connect command=/host=master:shutdown

Windows users can issue the following command:

jboss-cli.bat --connect command=/host=master:shutdown

Note

The default host name is master, and it is defined in the host.xml, file which is located in the JBOSS_HOME\domain\configuration folder. We will learn more about it in the next section.

Once the domain starts, several log files are created within the JBOSS_HOME\domain\log directory. The host...
