How to run 2 ear files on jboss 7 with different configurations

I have a Jboss 7.1.1 installation and I want to deploy 2 EAR files on it, each one runs in a different instance with different standalone.xml configuration, what will be the best way to do it ?

What i thought of is to define 2 different deployment definitions for the 2 apps, which means to change this section:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:deployment-scanner:1.1">
        <deployment-scanner path="deployments" relative-to="jboss.server.base.dir" scan-interval="5000"/>
    </subsystem>

Is that the way to go or is there a better way?

You can specify a deployment scanner that uses a property, say "my.deploy.dir" and specify that when starting each instance of your standalone server.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:deployment-scanner:1.1">
    <deployment-scanner name="myDeployDir" path="${my.deploy.dir}" />
</subsystem>

You will specify the value for the property during startup using a property file or with a -D.

bin/standalone.sh -P propFile_that_has_my.deploy.dir_value

bin/standalone.sh -Dmy.deploy.dir=myDeployDir1

You can also define another configuration file like your original post.

I would suggest you check out domain mode rather than standalone. If that is too complex or just overkill I suppose using the --server-config argument would work. You would just have to make sure that each configurations is set to bind to a different address.

Server one:

[jperkins@jperkins-rh jboss-as-7.1.1.Final]$ bin/standalone.sh --server-config standalone.xml

Server two:

[jperkins@jperkins-rh jboss-as-7.1.1.Final]$ bin/standalone.sh --server-config standalone-full.xml

You could also use the -b xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and -Djboss.bind.address.management=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx options if you'd just like to test it.
