Happy Cinco De Mayo! Crack open a cold adult beverage and start retooling your JavaEE skills towards microservices. What is WildFly Swarm? WildFly Swarm [1] is a new sidecar project supporting WildFly 9.x to enable deconstructing the WildFly AS and pasting just enough of it back together with your application to create a self-contained executable jar. JAX-RS is a microservice? In the simplest case, you make small adjustments to your existing Maven pom.xml that generates...

All of the standard CLI commands that you can use to administer a remote server are available. The immediate goal is to support direct...

OpenShift provides an open source hybrid cloud application platform by Red Hat. It enables polyglot applications to be deployed on a public, private, and a hybrid cloud very easily. It provides an extensible cartridge-based architecture that allows a wide range of functionality such as frameworks, databases, monitoring services, or connectors to external backends to be easily added. WildFly cartridge allows you to start a WildFly instance in OpenShift Online. JBoss Developer Studio provide comprehensive tooling...
WIldFly enables high availability of a Java EE application using session failover and load balancing. Session failover allows uninterrupted access to an application, even in the presence of a node failure. Load balancing allows for a timely response from the application, even in the presence of high volume requests. WildFly can operate in standalone mode which is an independent process, much like JBoss Application Serer 3, 4, 5, and 6. It can also operate in...
