red hat jboss enterprise application platform

The OpenShift Next-Gen platform is available for evaluation: visit https://console.preview.openshift.com /. It is based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.4. This preview allows you to play with OpenShift Container Platform 3.4 and deploy artifacts. The evaluation is limited to one month. The purpose of the article is to describe how to use Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or JBoss Tools together with this online platform. Install Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio If you have not already installed Red Hat...

Welcome to another episode of the series: “Unlock your Red Hat JBoss Data Grid (JDG) data with Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization (JDV).” This post will guide you through an example of connecting to Red Hat JBoss Data Grid data source, using Teiid Designer. In this example, we will demonstrate connecting to a local JDG data source. We’re using the JDG 6.6.1, but you can connect to any local or remote JDG source (version 6.6.1) if you wish, using the...

In order for businesses to stay agile, developers must be able to deploy apps -- quickly, efficiently, and in a streamlined manner. Red Hat Open Innovation Labs uses a container-driven application development framework to perform continuous delivery and accelerate innovation. In this video, I’ll give you a peek into some of the work we at Labs are undertaking to accelerate application development. Specifically, I’ll walk you through the steps to create a deployment pipeline in Jenkins using the JBoss TicketMonster...

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...

JBoss Enterprise Application Server 7 has been out since June, and if you build and deliver using a Java EE environment and haven’t yet upgraded to EAP7, it’s time to make the jump. Here’s a look at what’s new in JBoss EAP 7, what has changed since JBoss EAP 6, and how to get the most out of JBoss EAP 7 as your Java EE7 server. Overview JBoss EAP 7 is bassed on WildFly Application Server 10, which provides a...

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 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...

Red Hat JBoss EAP 6 introduced some new concepts like configuration simplification, Modularity, new management CLI , user-friendly management console and an amazing feature called "Domains". Domain mode changes the way applications are deployed on EAP instances. JBoss EAP 7.0 was just released and announced by Red Hat. In this series of articles, 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...

If you are using JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) for J2EE development, the CloudBees Jenkins Platform provides an enterprise-class toolchain for an automated CI/CD from development to production. The CloudBees Jenkins Platform now supports integrations with both Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) and Red Hat OpenShift across the software delivery pipeline. This enables developers to build, test and deploy applications, with Jenkins-based continuous delivery pipelines in JBoss via JBoss EAP 7 or JBoss EAP 7 on OpenShift. The...

JBoss EAP 7 was recently released, and brings with it a whole host of new features and support, such as support for Java EE 7, reduced port usage, graceful shutdown, improved GUI and CLI management, optimizations for cloud and containers, and much more. EAP 7's small footprint, fast startup time and support for modern Java and non-Java frameworks make it uniquely suitable for deployment onto PaaS cloud environments, and Red Hat happens to have a leading one: OpenShift . I...

JBoss EAP 7 was recently released, and brings with it a whole host of new features and support, such as support for Java EE 7, Undertow (a highly scalable web server), reduced port usage, graceful shutdown, improved GUI and CLI management, and much more. 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...

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 is here. This is a significant new release. There are the obvious benefits — Java EE 7 certification, numerous bug fixes, a simplified and more intuitive administrative UI — but there are a lot of features just under the hood that really make JBoss EAP 7 a pathway for IT departments and app developers to move their projects forward. Agility and Transformation There are a lot of buzzwords and think-pieces on changes in...

I'm guessing if you've done enough repeated builds on OpenShift, using Maven, that you are probably aware of the " download the internet " phenomenon that plagues build times. You start a build, expecting all those Maven dependencies you downloaded for your last build to be re-used, but quickly see your network traffic ramp up while the same 100MB of jars are downloaded again and again. Even builds of a few minutes tend to grind on me, frustrate me as...

Over the last few weeks reports of crypto-ransomware have been circulated on the Internet and in the Press. While public details are sparse and victims are hesitant to share details, Red Hat is aware that older, un-patched versions of JBoss have been linked to several cases. The main flaw seen used has been CVE-2010-0738 . Unsecured consoles appear to have been the main culprit of allowing attackers into internal networks using the JexBoss testing tool. Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application...

Cloud based technology offers the ability to build, deploy and scale applications with ease; however, deploying to the cloud is only half of the battle. How cloud applications are monitored becomes a paramount concern with operations teams. When issues arise, teams and their monitoring systems must be able to detect, react, and rectify the situation. CPU, system memory, and disk space are three common indicators used to monitor applications, and are typically reported by the operating system. However, for Java...
