title: JBoss configuration files
body: <p>I've inherited a project that is running a single instance of a JBoss 7.x server, java back-end, etc. I'm completely new to JBoss and I was curious about the configuration of the file structure(s), what I <em>have</em> to have and where. The <a href="https://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/guides/installguide/r1/en/html/config-files.html" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> has a different structure than what I've been handed and I'm not sure how one would, say, setup a completely new web application server project (i.e. starting a project from scratch).</p>
  
  <p>Why, for instance, do I have multiple standalone.xml files? Namely,</p>
  
  <pre><code>standalone.xml
  standalone-ha.xml
  standalone-full-ha.xml
  standalone-full.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Basically, I'm looking for a 'You NEED these to get your app running' sort of guide.</p>
  
  <p>My JBoss folder has this structure</p>
  
  <pre><code>|--appclient

  |  |  `--appclient.xml

  <p>*clearly I got tired and didn't label <em>everything</em> in every folder</p>
