Migrating from 7.8 to 7.9 Hotfix A.
I have engines and search server started properly.
Attempting to start jboss (EAP 6.4) - Getting an error about premature end of file, but it doesn't say exactly which file. Looks like it might be referring to appian-topology.xml. server.log attached
I created the configuration using the configuration using the configure script before I deployed HF A. I see there's an issue addressed in HF A: AN-60118 about invalid default topology being fixed.
Is this the symptom of that? Best way to fix it? I tried creating a new "environment" after the installing hotfix but the generated topology file looks the same.

I removed the topology file that was created by default from the ear folder, and jboss is starting now. would still like confirmation that this is the AN-60118 issue and best way to fix it.

Also, FYI, Search Server didn't actually start properly earlier like i thought. Said it was started, but the java process had died immediately with no log. had to adjust the ss copy of topology file too.

This is because you skipped the required step of properly configure the appian-topology.xml file. The one that comes by default is all commented out and will be deployed as-is by the Configure Script if not updated beforehand.

An all-commented-out appian-topology.xml results in the error you were seeing since it's not valid.

Finally, yes, this is handled now in a graceful way as part of the fix for AN-60118
