In my company it is very typical for us to download one copy of JBoss AS and then setup multiple profiles under the deploy directory. Setting up the multiple profiles is easy but the documentation is not clear about how to do the following:

a) Configure the parameters to run.bat

I understand that in JBoss AS 6 there is a run.conf.bat that can be used to configure run.bat without having to edit run.bat itself.  This is a good idea but the problem is that when you have multiple server profiles you apparently need to make multiple copies of run.bat and run.conf.bat and then edit run.bat to read from the corresponding run.conf.bat. It is certainly do-able but just seems "hacky" to me. Is this the correct way to do it or is there a better way? Also, why is run.conf.bat not even mentioned in any of hte JBoss AS documentation...it seems like it would be a good thing to document...I just stumbled on it by accident.

b) Setup a Windows service

I understand that in JBoss AS 6 there is a service.bat that can be used to install/uninstall a JBoss server as a Windows service. This is a good idea but again the problem comes when I need one Windows service per server profile. For each server profile I need to make a copy of service.bat and edit various parts of it. It is do-able but it feels "hacky" to me. Is this the correct way to do it or is there a better way? Why is service.bat not mentioned in the JBoss AS documentation...it seems like it would be a good thing to document.

When I say that run.conf.bat and service.bat are not mentioned in the JBoss AS documentation I am referring to the following documents:

http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Installation_And_Getting_Started_Guide/5/html_single/index.html

http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Administration_And_Configuration_Guide/5/html_single/index.html

Maybe I'm not looking at the correct documenation? I couldn't find any installation or configuration guide for JBoss AS 6 at all. Can you point me to the correct documenation?
