WildFly, formerly known as JBoss AS, or simply JBoss, is an application server authored by JBoss, now developed by Red Hat. jboss server wildfly is written in Java and implements the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition specification. It runs on multiple platforms.jboss server wildfly is a fantastic full-featured multiplaform open-source and free application server developed by Red Hat.
This quick tutorial will list the steps to install wildfly on Windows.
WildFly 10 adds a number of capabilities and improvements to the powerful, yet lightweight, open-source application server.
Here are the wildfly 10 features
WildFly 10 implements the Java EE 7 Full and Web Profile standards.
Wildfly 10 is built on Wildfly 9 and includes all the major features from 9, such as HTTP/2 support and a built in load-balancer.
Java 7 support has been discontinued in WildFly 10 and Java 8 is fully supported. While Java 9 is still in development.
Wildfly 10 includes ActiveMQ Artemis as its JMS Broker and it fully replaces HornetQ.
Offline CLI Support for Domain Mode: you can now launch a host-controller locally within the CLI. Using the embed-host-controller command you can edit the content of domain.xml and host.xml without launching additional processes or opening network sockets.
WildFly 10 includes the Undertow JS project, which allows you to write server side scripts that can pull in CDI beans and JPA Entity Beans. This can be quite useful for quickly developing a REST endpoint. You can edit the JS files live on the system, and they are dynamically reloaded, without having to redeploy your application.
HA Singleton Deployments:
WildFly 10 adds the ability to deploy a given application as a "singleton deployment". This is a new implementation of a feature that existed in AS 6.0 and earlier. When deployed to a group of clustered servers, a singleton deployment will only deploy on a single node at any given time. If the node on which the deployment is active stops or fails, the deployment will automatically start on another node.
Another advanced clustering capability in WildFly 10, singleton MDBs supports infrastructures which require message delivery on only single host at a time. In the event of a failure, another host in the cluster with the same application deployed will take over message processing.
WildFly now pools stateless session beans by default, using a pool size that is computed relative to the size of the IO worker pool, which is itself auto-tuned to match system resources. Additionally MDBs now use a pool which is similarly tuned to a value derived from the number of CPUs on the system.
To help users migrating from old subsystems such as jbossweb (AS 7.1), jacorb (WildFly 8), and hornetq (WildFly 9), we have introduced a set of management operations that can convert old configuration over to the new respective subsystem equivalent.
Hibernate 5 includes several additional improvements, such as greatly improved bytecode enhancement, which is a useful performance optimization. Additionally a number of API improvements are provided, including use of generics in Hibernate Native, and an improved SPI for second level cache providers. Also included are new and improved schema update and validation tooling.
Powershell scripts ware added to bin directory of WildFly distribution and are meant to fully replace .bat scripts in future releases. They provide same functionality as .bat scripts and additionally address handful of issues found in batch scripts.
