If you work with the JBoss Community on a regular basis then you will already be aware of the fantastic contributions that come in from all areas with each of the projects having a vibrant community that, through quality submissions, helps to develop and define the direction of those projects; but every now and again something completely unexpected comes along.  Community member Christos Vasilakis has done just that.  While working in his spare time, Christos decided to develop an impressive iPhone app to help with the remote administration of JBoss AS 7 servers and has now released version 1.0 of this app.  You can find more details about it, including how to get hold of the source code, in his announcement.  If you are interested in how this app works alongside JBoss Tools then Max has already answered this, having created a screencast which demonstrates both in action.

- Part IV - the source code and configuration changes required for deployment of the EJB/REST/WS clients and integration tests

- Part V - the final part covering the cleanup of source code and configuration for deployment, integration and performance testing

 

In another post about migration, Ray Ploski introduces part 3 of a series on how to migrate from Spring to Java EE 6.  The series, written by Bert Ertman and Paul Bakker of Luminis, goes into great depth on the rationale behind the migration and demonstrates, through real world examples, not only how to upgrade the application but also how it can be tested using Arquillian.
