AS 6 support / compatibility?

[Scott W. Ruch]

I see a few threads referencing AS 6 - but no official discussion.

Is Spring integration usable / supported in AS 6?

Afaik, there should be no difference between AS5 and AS6.

Or perhaps you're seeing some issue / difference?

[Scott W. Ruch]

No issue - just looking for confirmation.  The documenation references AS 5.

Thanks.

Actually, the 1.0 and 1.1 builds of Snowdrop are not compatible with JBAS6, because of an internal change (migration from VFS2 to VFS3). Compatibility with JBAS6 is the goal of Snowdrop 2.

1) If you are using Spring 3, then you can run your application as-is (i.e. without the VFS application contexts), but make sure that you use 3.0.3 or later because of https://jira.springframework.org/browse/SPR-7197

2) For the Spring deployer, there is a JBAS 6 version which is also Spring 3.0 based, that can be found here for now [1]. A release for this is forthcoming, before JBAS 6 CR1 comes out.

This works with JBAS 6.0.0-M3, but there shouldn't be any issue with it running against a later version of JBAS. Please let me know if this doesn't work.

Hope this helps,

Marius

This comment is very valuable (in particulier Snowdrop 1.x incompatible with JBoss 6 and useless with Spring 3.0.3) and a compatibility/choice matrix (JBoss vs Spring) on Snowdrop main page is a must have. If I understand:

• Spring 2.5
  • JBoss 5.x --> SnowDrop 1.0
  • JBoss 6.0 --> Not compatible until SnowDrop 2.x
• Spring 3.0
  • JBoss 5.x --> SnowDrop 1.1
  • JBoss 6.0 --> Not required (except for Deployer) and not compatible until SnowDrop 2.x

Yes, this needs to be more visible. I'll move this at the top level.
