What’s New in WildFly 8

WildFly 8 (nee JBoss Application Server) is Red Hat's open source Java EE 7 compliant application server. It contains robust implementations of WebSocket, Batch, JSON, Concurrency, JMS2, JAX-RS 2, CDI 1.1, and all Java EE 7 technologies. A new cutting-edge web server, Undertow, is designed for maximum throughput and scalability, including environments with over a million connections. The number of
ports is reduced used by multiplexing protocols over HTTP using HTTP Upgrade.

Role Based Access Control support organizations with separated management responsibilities and restrictions. Roles represent different sets of permissions such as runtime operation execution,
configuration areas that can read or written, and the ability to audit changes and manage users. In addition a new restricted audit log can be enabled including the ability to offload to a secure syslog server.

WildFly also provides a “core” distribution that is ideal for framework authors that want to build their own application runtime using the powerful WildFly 8 architecture.

Java EE 7 Hands On Lab

The Java EE 7 platform focuses on Boosting Productivity and Embracing HTML5. JAX-RS 2 adds a new Client API to invoke the RESTful endpoints. JMS 2 has undergone a complete overhaul to align with improvements in the Java language. Long awaited Batch Processing API and Concurrency Utilities are now added to make the platform richer. A new API to build WebSocket driven applications is added. JSON parsing and generation is now included in the platform itself. JavaServer Faces has added
support for HTML5. There are several other improvements in this latest version of the platform. Together these APIs will allow you to be more productive by simplifying enterprise development.
