Recommend JBOSS Configuration?

jcorbin4607 Feb 21, 2005 11:16 AM

Hello,

My group is currently using JBOSS 3.2.3 (Tomcat 4.x) and we are considering upgrading to a newer version. I wanted to use Tomcat 5+ so I started testing our code against 3.2.6. I got it running just fine but noticed some errors in regards to the Queue support in Tomcat 5.0.x. I did some investigation and found that the problems were fixed in Tomcat 5.5.x. Is there a version of JBOSS that runs on Tomcat 5.5.x? What about JBOSS 4.x? Can someone recommend a stable version of JBOSS that runs with Tomcat 5.5?

TIA,

J.D.

The first stable version of jboss that embeds tomcat 5.5 will be jboss-4.0.2.

Thanks Scott.

Is 4.0.2 publicly available even if its in beta or is this an as yet undeveloped update to the 4.0 baseline?

Regards,
J.D.

Thanks for the link. It looks like you guys aren't far from releasing RC2 of 4.0.2. The reason for my line of question is because our product is deployed to hundreds and soon thousands of sites across the world on JBOSS 3.2.3 and we are considering upgrading our JBOSS installation. My boss suggested ramping to 3.2.6 and I suggested the 4.0 path. Our development is on EJB 2.0 and I noticed that 4.0 is EJB 3.0. Will a EJB2.0 based solution deploy on a 4.0.x server?

I like the screen that you guys use to display your issues and their status on the roadmap. Is that a homegrown solution or a 3rd party product?

Thanks,
J.D.

p.s We have 2 JBOSS consultants in house starting today so we plan to pick their brains as well.

4.0 is j2ee1.4 which includes ejb2.1, not ejb3.0. The ejb3 previews will run on 4.0, but ejb3 is not in the 4.0.x download. ejb 2.x works on 4.0.x.

JBoss 4.0 is J2EE 1.4 which means that it supports EJB 2.1 which is just EJB 2.0 with a little bit more added.

The EJB 3.0 support is deployed separately by users that want to try it out.
