    JBoss AS 6.0.0.M4 is the fourth milestone release of the community driven AS 6 series. Building on the AS 6.0.0.M1 Release Notes , AS 6.0.0.M2 Release Notes, and AS 6.0.0.M3 Release Notes milestone releases, it includes support for additional key technologies that are part of the EE6 specification. Further capabilities will be added in future releases. The release is available for download from the download page.

     

    Two major EJB 3.1 features included in this release are:

     

    • Asynchronous EJB invocation - An approach that allows clients to invoke an operation and check the response later.
    • Advanced Timers - The ability to have calendar based timers trigger EJB methods. See the following overview for more information.

     

    Other major additions include:

     

    • JBossWS-CXF - A new web services implementation that is built on top of the Apache CXF web services stack. This change offers existing JBossWS users better performance and more WS-* features. See the detailed JBossWS on AS 6M4 Release Notes for more information.
    • Resteasy 2.0 - A major update that includes full CDI and EJB integration. Resteasy specific classes are no longer needed in web.xml.
    • XA Recovery - XA sources are now automatically registered for recovery. See jboss-ds_6_0.dtd for details.
    • Many bug fixes and small enhancements as listed in the full notes below.

     

    A Note on Release Naming

     

    The shorthand name for this release is 6.0.0.M4; this is what you'll see in many locations primarily meant to be read by humans (e.g. the download pages.) However, the official name for the release is 6.0.0.20100721-M4, a name which follows the JBoss project versioning conventions for projects that issue milestone releases. The inclusion of the date of the release in the release qualifier helps ensure proper release ordering as specified by the OSGi specification. The official name appears in distributions zips, jar manifests, Maven pom files, and in Maven repository URLs.
