Using JBoss EAP 6.4 GA version

RapidMiner Server is bundled with JBoss EAP Alpha versions due to licensing restrictions. If you have the necessary license to run the JBoss EAP 6.4 GA version then you can also use it to run RapidMiner Server. The following steps are required to use the JBoss EAP 6.4 GA version:

Setting up the application server

RapidMiner Server requires configuration changes to the default JBoss EAP configuration. Normally the RapidMiner Server installer takes care of these changes but because of licensing restrictions the installer is shipped with the JBoss EAP Alpha version. As a result to run RapidMiner Server on a JBoss EAP GA instance you will need to manually perform the necessary configurations. The following sections will guide you step by step how to do so.

JBoss boot modules

Regardless of whether you are running the JBoss EAP under Windows, OS X or Linux the respective bootstrap scripts located in the bin folder need to be modified by adding the jboss-modules jar to the bootstrap class path with the following JVM option: -Xbootclasspath/a:\"$JBOSS_HOME/jboss-modules.jar\"

 if [ "x$LAUNCH_JBOSS_IN_BACKGROUND" = "x" ]; then 
  # Execute the JVM in the foreground
  eval \"$JAVA\" -D\"[Standalone]\" $JAVA_OPTS \
      \"-Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file="$JBOSS_LOG_DIR"/server.log\" \
      \"-Dlogging.configuration=file:"$JBOSS_CONFIG_DIR"/logging.properties\" \

     -Xbootclasspath/a:\"$JBOSS_HOME/jboss-modules.jar\" \
     -jar \""$JBOSS_HOME"/jboss-modules.jar\" \
     $MODULE_OPTS \
     -mp \""${JBOSS_MODULEPATH}"\" \

     -Djboss.server.base.dir=\""$JBOSS_BASE_DIR"\" \
     "$SERVER_OPTS"
     JBOSS_STATUS=$?     
else
  # Execute the JVM in the background
  eval \"$JAVA\" -D\"[Standalone]\" $JAVA_OPTS \
      \"-Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file="$JBOSS_LOG_DIR"/server.log\" \
      \"-Dlogging.configuration=file:"$JBOSS_CONFIG_DIR"/logging.properties\" \

      -Xbootclasspath/a:\"$JBOSS_HOME/jboss-modules.jar\" \

JBoss JVM options configuration

JBoss EAP needs to be started with specific JVM options for RapidMiner Server to work as expected. The java location can be set in the bin/standalone.conf.bat file for Windows platforms or the /bin/standalone.conf file in the case of Linux and OS X platforms while JVM maximum memory can be adjusted by creating the standalone/configuration/max-memory.conf file.

8192M

The expected value in the file is a number followed by letter ‘M’ which signifies the size of memory in MB. In this example the maximum amount of memory that RapidMiner Server may allocate is 8192 MB.

The amount set in the max-memory.conf file MUST be greater than the Xms option specified in /bin/standalone.conf or /bin/standalone.conf.bat depending on your platform.

Change place holder "%%%%%JAVA_LOCATION%%%%%" to the path of your jre/jdk installation and make sure that it’s version is compatible with the RapidMiner Server version you want to install.

JDBC driver configuration

Configure the JDBC driver to allow connection to your repository database. JBoss GA does not come with bundled JDBC drivers so you will need to download the driver and store it to the appropriate location under modules/system/layers/base folder. Depending on the underlying database you are using the full path will differ:

  • Microsoft SQL Server: create the com/mssql/main subfolder structure inside the base folder and copy the driver library (for example sqljdbc4-4.0.jar) into it.
  • MySQL: create the com/mysql/main subfolder structure inside the base folder and copy the driver library (for example mysql-connector-java-5.1.31.jar) into it.
  • Oracle: create the oracle/main subfolder structure inside the base folder and copy the driver library (for example ojdbc7-12.1.0.1.jar) into it.
  • PostgreSQL: create the org/postgresql subfolder structure inside the base folder and copy the driver library (for example postgresql-42.1.4.jar) into it.

You also need to register the JDBC driver library by creating a module.xml file in the same folder the driver is stored. Depending on the driver and version you will need to modify the name="..." and path="..." attributes.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com/mssql">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="sqljdbc4-4.0.jar"/>

Modify JBoss database configuration

Now that JBoss is able to use the JDBC driver you need to add a data source and register the JDBC driver in standalone/configuration/standalone.xml.

The data source describes the connection to the RapidMiner Server repository database while the driver defines the Java class that implements the JDBC driver class. Data source and driver definition may vary depending on the type of database you use.

You need to add the datasource and the driver tags under datasources tag. Also do not forget to change:

  • the <connection-url>...<connection-url> according to your JDBC driver,
  • the <driver-class>...</driver-class> and <xa-datasource-class>...</xa-datasource-class> depending on the JDBC driver class,
  • the <driver>...</driver>, the <driver name="..." module="..."> depending on the JDBC driver library you configured.
  • within the new datasource element, update the security element with the correct user-name and password.

Disable Subdeployment Class Loader Isolation

To disable Subdeployment class loader Isolation within an ear file locate the <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:ee:1.2"> element within the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml and replace the <jboss-descriptor-property-replacement>true</jboss-descriptor-property-replacement> element with <ear-subdeployments-isolated>false</ear-subdeployments-isolated>.

Modify JBoss security configuration

The standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file needs to be adjusted with an additional security-domain element with attribute name="RapidAnalyticsEJBDomain" that defines the security domain used by RapidMiner Server for authentication and access control. This element needs to be placed within the security-domains element:

 <security-domains>
    <security-domain name="other" cache-type="default">
        <authentication>
            <login-module code="Remoting" flag="optional">
                <module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>
            </login-module>

In order to enable LDAP authentication you will need to create the local-security.properties and store it in the /standalone/configuration folder. Then follow the steps as explained in Changing LDAP settings guide

JBoss virtual server configuration

RapidMiner Server additionally requires changes to virtual server configuration in standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file. Locate the virtual server subsystem with attribute xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:2.2". There be sure to make the following changes:

  • change default-virtual-server attribute to have the value "ra-host"
  • add a virtual-server element with the following attributes and its values: name="ra-host", enable-welcome-root="false" and default-web-module="ROOT"
  • inside the virtual-server element create an alias element with an attribute name whose value is the host name RapidMiner server will be accessible, for example <alias name="www.rapidminer.com"/>
Change place holder "%%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%%" to the address RapidMiner Server should be accessible from. 
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:2.2" default-virtual-server="ra-host" native="false">
        <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>          
    <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="false">
        <alias name="example.com"/>
    </virtual-server>
    <virtual-server name="ra-host" enable-welcome-root="false" default-web-module="ROOT">
        <alias name="%%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%%"/>
    </virtual-server>
</subsystem>

JBoss interface configuration

The JBoss application server needs to be configured on which address the application as well as the management endpoints of the server should be accessed. To do this the interfaces and <socket-binding-group> elements need to be adapted in the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml configuration file. Specifically:

  • adjust the nested interface elements with name attribute values management, public, unsecure to contain an inet-address element as follows: <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:%%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%%}"/>.

    Be sure to change %%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%% placeholder to the address you set previously as alias name when configuring the virtual server element

  • add an additional interface element of which the attribute name is any and has a nested <any-ipv4-address/> element
  • locate the <socket-binding-group> element and change it's default-interface attribute value to "any".
<interfaces>
        <interface name="management">
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:%%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%%}"/>
        </interface>
   <interface name="public">
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:%%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%%}"/>
        </interface>
   <interface name="unsecure">
       <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:%%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%%}"/>
    </interface>
    <interface name="any">
        <any-ipv4-address/>
    </interface>
</interfaces>

Configure the WSDL SOAP address

To configure the soap:address element which the RapidMiner Server WSDL lists you will need to update the <wsdl-host> element in the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml with the address %%%%%SERVER_HOST%%%%% you set during the JBoss interface configuration step.

Bind RapidMiner Server to a specific address (Optional)

It is possible to bind the Rapidminer Server access to specific address. To do this you need first to configure a virtual server address and assign it to an interface. Once you have completed these steps locate the <socket-binding-group> element in the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file and change it's default-interface attribute value to "public".

Change the default http port (Optional)

The default port for the http requests directed to RapidMiner Server (currently 8080) can be changed via the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml. Locate the <socket-binding-group> and the nested <socket-binding> element of which the attribute name has "http" value. Change the port attribute accordingly.

JBoss virtual SMTP configuration (Optional)

To be able to send automated e-mails from RadpidMiner Server, the JBoss virtual SMTP configuration needs to be adjusted. This step is optional and can be skipped if you do not require the e-mail functionality of RapidMiner Server.

Locate the mail-session tag within standalone/configuration/standalone.xml and change the following:

  • update the jndi-name attribute to value "java:/Mail"
  • add the debug attribute with value "false"
  • add the from attribute with the value you want to appear as the sender of the e-mail, for example no-reply@rapidminer.com
  • change the nested smtp-server element from empty element tag to an element with start and end tags. Within the element add a login-name element with the attributes name and password for the smtp server user that will be used to send the e-mail.
Change place holders "%%%%%MAIL_SENDER%%%%%" to the email address you want to appear as the sender of the e-mail, and placeholders %%%%%MAIL_USER%%%%%,%%%%%MAIL_PASSWORD%%%%% to the credentials of the user that will be used to send the e-mail by the smtp server. 
<mail-session jndi-name="java:/Mail" debug="false" from="%%%%%MAIL_SENDER%%%%%">
    <custom-server name="smtp" outbound-socket-binding-ref="mail-smtp">
        <login name="%%%%%MAIL_USER%%%%%" password="%%%%%MAIL_PASSWORD%%%%%"/>
    </custom-server>
</mail-session>
Change place holders "%%%%%MAIL_SENDER%%%%%" to the email address you want to appear as the sender of the e-mail, and placeholders %%%%%MAIL_USER%%%%%,%%%%%MAIL_PASSWORD%%%%% to the credentials of the user that will be used to send the e-mail by the smtp server. 
<mail-session jndi-name="java:/Mail" debug="false" from="%%%%%MAIL_SENDER%%%%%">
    <custom-server name="smtp" outbound-socket-binding-ref="mail-smtp">
        <login name="%%%%%MAIL_USER%%%%%" password="%%%%%MAIL_PASSWORD%%%%%"/>
        <property name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable" value="true"/>
    </custom-server>
</mail-session>
Change place holders "%%%%%MAIL_SENDER%%%%%" to the email address you want to appear as the sender of the e-mail, and placeholders %%%%%MAIL_USER%%%%%,%%%%%MAIL_PASSWORD%%%%% to the credentials of the user that will be used to send the e-mail by the smtp server.
