Automatically deploy applications (WAR files) during JBoss AS starting time.

Add a <deployment/> part under <deployments/> tag in the standalone.xml file (<JBoss Installation Directory>/standalone/standalone.xml) to automatically deploy applications (WAR files) during JBoss AS starting time:

<server>
 <!-- ... -->
 <!-- ... -->
 <deployments>
        <deployment name="my.war" runtime-name="my.war">
            <fs-archive path="Path/to/my.war">
        </fs-archive></deployment>
  <deployment name="other.war" runtime-name="other.war">
            <fs-archive path="Path/to/some/other.war">
        </fs-archive></deployment>
    </deployments>
 <!-- ... -->
 <!-- ... -->
</server>

Now, each time you start JBoss AS, application server will try to deploy the wars specified in the standalone.xml file.

Get first/last date of current Week/Month

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

/**
 * Returns the date of previous Monday
 */
public static Date getFirstDateOfCurrentWeek() {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
    cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.MONDAY);
    return cal.getTime();
}

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
    cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.MONDAY);

    Calendar last = (Calendar) cal.clone();
    last.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 7);
    last.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, -1);
    return last.getTime();

    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
    cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
    return cal.getTime();
}

/**

public static Date getLastDateOfCurrentMonth() {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
    cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
    cal.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1); // NEXT MONTH
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); // FIRST DAY OF NEXT MONTH
    cal.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, -1); // Go one Millisecond back, which is the last moment of the last day of current month
    return cal.getTime();
}

JBoss Logging Configuration: Write Application Specific Logs in a Different File

In order to write the logs generated from your application into a separate file (not in the default <j-boss-installation-directory>\...\server.log file), follow these steps:

Start JBoss Administrative Console: In your browser hit http://localhost:9990/console/App.html

Configure A File Handler:

• Go to Profile --> Core --> Logging --> 'Handler' tab --> 'File' sub-tab and Click 'Add' button.
• In the 'Add File Handlers' pop-up box, enter name, log-level, file-name with extension etc. and 'Save'
• You may also need to further edit the created handler and set 'Auto Flash' and 'Append' to true.

Add A Log Category:

• Now go to the 'Log Categories' tab and click 'Add'. Enter the root package of your project in the 'Name' field (e.g. com.mycompany.myproject).
• Now select (click on) the newly added log-category and click on 'handlers' (under 'Details' section at the bottom).
• Click 'Add' and add the handler that you created previously.

[You can also configure the handler and Log Category by editing the .../standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file of your server directory.]

Happy Logging:
Now you can log using slf4j from your application like:

private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);

and all logs of your application will be written to the file-name that you specified for the handler configured above.

I have used EAP 6.2.0 GA (AS 7.3) application server and slf4j (for logging).
