Once I worked on a project where in the existing environment I needed to configure the JBoss Enterprise Application Server to communicate with WebSphere MQ where the WebSphere MQ was supposed to be communicating with Mainframe system using cluster queue of WebSphere. Initially I was blind, as I was not able to understand how I could configure JBoss to communicate with MQ. But after some research, I came to learn that it is possible to integrate JBoss with WebSphere MQ...

Microservices are currently enjoying immense popularity . It is rare to find a tech conference without at least a few mentions of them in corridor conversations or titles of talks, and for good reason: microservices can provide a path to better, more maintainable, higher quality software delivered faster. What's not to love? Of course there are the "negatives" and details in the implementation of microservices that can trip up even the most seasoned architect-developer, but at the same time we...

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a yearly effort run by Google to bring students and open source projects together. Open source projects apply to be mentoring organizations.

This year Google has funded 1184 student projects for 178 organizations. Among the selected organizations were JBoss community and Vert.x with a total of...

Java language server is an implementation of the language server protocol for Java. If you recall , language server protocol provides a common way for editors and IDEs to integrate with language smartness providers. By design, all of the language tooling magic happens on the Java language server, and can provide same level of smartness to tools that support the protocol. In fact, we are working with communities such as Eclipse Che to make this server available for their tools...

The last 4-5 years have seen the debut of many new software products specifically targeting both infrastructure services and IT automation. The consumerization of IT has caused its architects to take a fresh look at their existing, often times monolithic apps and IT infrastructure and asking: Can we do better? How do I keep IT relevant? How do I keep track of all these VMs and data? How do I scale out my IT environment without a huge budget increase...

Prior to working at Red Hat, I worked for a software company, building financial software for large institutions. From my experiences I knew that some customers required, or demanded, a very aggressive Service Level Agreement (SLA). If we consider an SLA of 99.999% (generally referred to as “five nines”) then this would allow for a six-second unavailability or downtime over a full week, anything more and penalties would have to be paid. To provide this level of uptime, it is...

Recently, I was searching for a solution to configure the security domain of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform with the local operating system based user registry so that the application could directly authenticate its users with local operating system users. I understood that it would be difficult to implement a generic solution, as authentication mechanisms are strikingly different between Windows and Unix/Linux. After checking several blogs and forums, I decided to implement this using JPAM for Unix/Linux and Waffle...

In this series of article, I will present several ways to deploy an application on an EAP Domain. T he series consists of four parts. Each one will be a standalone article, but the series as a whole will present a range of useful topics for working with JBoss EAP . Part 1: Set up a simple EAP 7.0 Domain (this article) . Part 2: Domain deployments through the new EAP 7.0 Management Console Part 3: Introduction to DMR (...

JBoss BRMS provides a sophisticated and powerful business rules engine. The BRMS rules engine allows an organization, among other things, to: define rules in single, governed, environment. define rules in the domain language (or syntax) of the problem domain. declaratively define rules. It allows to define what to do, not how to do it individually test rules, outside of any application logic. (incrementally) update rules without the need to update and/or restart the application that uses the rules. have better...

In today's modern world, the need for enterprise integration has never been greater. Companies are looking for ways to reduce the costs of their application infrastructure and one of the ways they are doing that is by extending the lifespan of older legacy platforms. This introduces a number of problems when there is also a need for the implementation of new modern systems as well. Often times it is difficult if not impossible to make these new and legacy systems...

Go ahead and download it , unzip, and run bin/standalone.sh and check out all these great features. What's that? It didn't work? Did you check that your JRE is compatible? Are there outstanding incompatibility or security...

Over the years, I've come across many command line interfaces ( CLI ) to larger applications, each with varying levels of access and power. Having a CLI at all is a great first step for an application, as it opens up a much wider range of possibilities: administration, extension, and trust. CLIs also promote scriptability - the ability to create and maintain repeatable scripts, and the easier it is to develop said scripts, the better. Sometimes scripts can solve issues...

WildFly Swarm is a "Just Enough" Application Server. If you don't need EJB, don't bundle it. Likewise for JPA, JAX-RS, or whatever subsystem. Bringing only the portions of an App Server that you need is the strategy that makes Java EE and the JVM a real contender in the microservices space. Ken Finnigan, Co Founder/Lead of WildFly Swarm, walked us through how easy it is to move a monolith deployment to a WildFly Swarm Microservice. Getting Started Getting started is...
