Step 3: Set the location of the solutions directory

To deploy JBoss correctly, Pentaho recommends that you define the location of the pentaho-solutions directory in the web.xml file.

Perform the following steps to define the location.

1. If you have not done so already, use a ZIP extraction utility such as 7-Zip, WinZip, or Archive to view the contents of the <your jboss installation directory>/standalone/deployments/pentaho.war file. Do not unzip the pentaho.war file; just view its contents.

2. Navigate to the WEB-INF directory in the pentaho.war file and open the web.xml file in a text editor.

3. Locate the following <context-param> tags.

   <context-param>
         <param-name>solution-path</param-name>
         <param-value></param-value>
    </context-param>

4. Set the parameter value of the solution-path to the pentaho-solutions path. An example of the code is below.

   <context-param>
        <param-name>solution-path</param-name>
        <param-value>/home/pentaho/server/pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions</param-value>
    </context-param>
   

5. Save the changes and close the file
