Standalone Mode Configuration Files
"Standalone Mode" Configuration Files Located in the standalone/configuration directory. standalone.xml -- primary configuration file for the AS instance. Among other things, includes the configuration of the "profile" that the AS instance is configured to run. A profile configuration includes the detailed configuration of the various subsystems that comprise that profile (e.g. an embedded JBoss Web instance is a subsystem; a JBoss TS transaction manager is a subsystem, etc). Also includes the definition of the sockets that those subsystems may open. Users are encouraged to have a look at the AS 7 configuration schema, starting with the element, to learn more about configuration of a standalone AS instance. logging.properties -- Contains the initial bootstrap logging configuration for the AS instance. This boostrap logging configuration is replaced with the logging configuration specified in the standalone.xml file once the server boot has reached the point where that configuration is available.
