This Week's Releases

 

Welcome to this week's editorial!

 

This week we've seen a strong theme around the continual convergence of containers, microservice architectures, middleware and cloud. Christian Posta provides an interesting write-up of how how he's seeing the microservices space evolving and maturing. Whilst Eric Schabell explains how you can create your own containers based cloud on Windows using the Openshift Container Platform (OCP). Once you have your container platform, you are going to want to run some microservices in it. Ladislav Thon has you covered with a post on how to run Java EE 7 Samples with WildFly Swarm. Node.js more your thing? Lucas Holmquist can help you out with his explanation of how to Dockerize Node.js Apps. Finally, if you are using an Infinispan cluster running with Kubernetes/OpenShift, you will probably want to monitor it. Find out how!

 

We've also seen some activity around the Hibernate project this week with Marko Bekhta explaining how to add custom constraint definitions via the Java service loader with Hibernate Validator.

 

We are (always) Hiring!

Red Hat is always hiring. But in particular, if you want to work on cool open source projects like Apache Camel and fabric8 you should check out this recent opening.

 

New Releases

To those of you in a geography that recently incremented its year counter: Happy New Year! This week much of the JBoss community is returning refreshed from the holiday break. And on their return we've seen the usual flurry of releases and useful tutorials and demos...

Releases

Welcome to this week's editorial. Even though it's the week after thanksgiving the JBoss Community still has a bunch of interesting developments to report on.

 

Should we Remove MongoDB from Keycloak?

The Keycloak team are considering the removal of support for MongoDB backed KeyCloak servers. Among other reasons, they cite lack of support for transactional updates to multiple documents in MongoDB, as a major contributing factor. However, elsewhere in the JBoss Community there is work afoot to bring non-ACID transactional support to MongoDB. As is typical in the JBoss community, they are seeking feedback before taking the plunge. See this blog post for the reasons to make this change and instructions on how you can join the discussion.

 

Node.js DNS Module and Debugger Explanations

Lucas Holmquist continues his exploration of Node.js modules and features. This week he explains how the DNS Module works and how to use the Node.js debugger.

 

Improvements Around using Infinispan with Spring

If you are using Infinispan with Spring, be sure to read about the improvements the team are making around this integration.

 

How to run JBoss BPM Suite in a Container

In this post Eric Schabell explains how to run JBoss BPM Suite in a Container using either the Openshift Container Platform (OCP) or the Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK).

 

Releases

  • Hibernate Search 5.6.0.Beta4. Bringing the latest bugfixes and previously missing features for the experimental Elasticsearch integration. This is the version to use with Hibernate ORM versions 5.0.x and 5.1.x.
  • Hibernate Search 5.7.0.Beta1. Bringing the exact same changes as 5.6.0.Beta1, but on top of the compatibility with Hibernate ORM version 5.2.x that was introduced with 5.7.0.Alpha1.
  • Windup suport in Eclipse IDE. A new plugin for Eclipse bringing which marks migration issues in application code, provides help to fix issues, and offers automated code replacement where possible.

It's that time of the week again, when we report on the latest happenings in the JBoss community. Read on for the highlights from this week's blog posts and releases.

 

Experience the Potential of JBoss Private Cloud

This week Eric Schabell announced his tour of UK user groups. Eric will be presenting in London and Edinburgh, talking about Red Hat's Cloud Suite technologies as they relate to application developers.

 

JBoss BPM and BRMS update

This month we have several updates from the JBoss BRMS and BPMS teams. Mark Proctor shares the roadmap for BPMS and BRMS 7.0. In this release the focus is around the usability of the user interface. Also, if you are keen to get started with JBoss JBPM, Eric Schabell has you covered with his getting started tutorial.

 

Buffers in Node.js

In this post, Lucas Holmquist continues his exploration of the Node core modules. This time he turns his attention to Buffers, in particular highlighting key differences in the Node.js v6 release.

 

Releases

As usual we have a significant number of releases to report:

 

Now that Red Hat Summit and DevNation are complete, and the summer months are upon us (in some regions of the world anyway); it's common for many in the JBoss community to take some well-earned rest. However, looking at this week's editorial might make this hard to believe.

 

The Hawkular team have been busy this week publishing five blog posts on a variety of topics. John Mazzitelli shows us how to collect data from JMX MBean Servers and Prometheus end-points for storing in Hawkular. Heiko Rupp also has a couple of posts. The first describes how to get started with ManageIQ and Hawkular. The second introduces HawkFX, a personal project he has been working on, which makes it easier to explore data stored in Hawkular. Finally, Gary Brown describes how to use the Hawkular APM project to monitor an application running within Openshift.

 

The JSR process for Bean Validation 2.0 is beginning. Gunnar Morling talks about what's planned in this version and gives an update on its progress in the JCP. Christian Posta continues his series about microservices implementations. In this post he focuses on handling data. Finally, Stian Thorgersen shows us how to load Keycloak customizations (Providers & Themes) from a Maven repository. This feature is useful for development, but also makes it easy to distribute and standardise on a common version.
