WildFly Project News
Until now the history of configuration in WildFly was using the folder + filename pattern. Now we have moved to a proper SCM integrating Git to manage history. You can now take advantage of a full Git support for your configuration history: every change in your configuration is now a commit. you can use branches to develop in parallel. you can create tags for stable points in your configuration. pull configuration from a remote repository....
I am happy to announce that the WildFly 14 release is Java EE8 Certified! Since WildFly is now certified, the default EE7 mode and EE8 preview option have been dropped.
WildFly 13 comes with a management console (HAL) which has been rewritten from scratch. HAL still uses a similar technical stack (GWT) and user experience, but now fully adopts PatternFly. More important we enhanced the existing features and added support for many new subsystems and attributes. The following sections show some highlights of the latest version. For more details about the new features see the release notes for HAL 3.0.0.Final. Finder The column based navigation...
WildFly 13 Final is now available for download! EE8 Capabilities & New Release Model This is our second release following our new quarterly delivery model. A central theme of this plan, is to deliver EE8 functionality in fully completed incremental chunks, as opposed to waiting for everything to finish in a big bang relase. WildFly 13 largely accomplishes this goal, by achieving EE8 feature completeness. WildFly 14 will focus on achieving formal certification, and converting...
WildFly 12 Final is now available for download! EE8 Capabilities & New Release Model This is our first release following our new quarterly delivery model. As part of this plan, we are delivering EE8 functionality in fully completed incremental chunks, as opposed to waiting for everything to finish in a big bang reelase. WildFly 12 makes significant progress on this front, adding support for the majority of the new standards: Name From Version From JSR...
WildFly 11 Final is now available for download! The highlights of WildFly 11 are as follows: Elytron - New Security Infrastructure The biggest change in WildFly 11 is unification on a new common security framework across the full application server. Previously we had two separate security infrastructures (picketbox and security-realms), each covering separate use cases, and largely operating independent of the other. In addition to unification, Elytron brings a number of advanced capabilities such as...
WildFly supports running a standalone server in Offline mode as an embedded server. An analogous capability has been added for domain mode in the form of running an offline host controller. This article discusses some of the details and possible applications of this feature. Introduction For those not familiar with the existing embedded standalone server, see: Offline mode Running an Embedded WildFly 9 Server in the CLI · WildFly. One of the major use cases...
The upcoming WildFly 11 release includes support for OpenSSL. This provides two main advantages over JSSE: Support for ALPN on all JDK’s Significantly improved performance compared to JSSE Setting up OpenSSL In general for Linux based systems all that is required is to install a recent version of OpenSSL using your systems package manager. The OpenSSL support will search the library path, and use whatever version of OpenSSL it finds. The same applies to MacOS...
WildFly 11 is integrating Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 1.5 to provides its messaging features. New features With the integration of Artemis 1.5, WildFly has udpated its messaging-activemq subsystem to provides new Artemis features through WildFly management model. The two new main features are the JDBC Store and the configuration for ActiveMQ client thread pools. JDBC Store The JDBC store is an alternative to Artemis File journal that uses a SQL database to store broker state (messages,...
A significant improvement in WildFly 11 is much better support for referential integrity when one resource in your configuration refers to another resource. Going beyond just checking that your references are correct, the server provides reference information that our CLI and the HAL web console are able to use to suggest valid values to you as you set up your configuration. Configuration references When you are configuring a WildFly server, a common thing you need...
