    Usage of 7.1.3 in production

    th.janssen

      Hi,

       

      I have a question regarding the terms of usage of non-binary JBoss AS versions. Am I allowed to use these versions in production?

       

      Currently I am working with my own build of tag 7.1.3 and it seems to be fine for our application. I know that I have to validate it on my own and that there will be no official support from Red Hat. But I don't understand if I am allowed to use these non-binary (EAP builds) in production.

       

      I read a lot of discussions, blogs, etc. about this but I found no clear answer   An official statement would be appreciated.

       

      Kind Regards,

      Thorben

          You could look at that thread: https://community.jboss.org/thread/197780

          This is long discusstion about JBoss 7.1.2 and EAP.

           

          Regards

            Hi Łukasz,

             

            thank you for your response. I read this thread in the past and now I did it again. But I still don't know if I am allowed to use these versions or not.

            This question was also asked in the other discussion but there was no clear answer from red hat staff but a lot of guessing from the community.

             

            Regards,

            Thorben

              Hi Thorben,

              I think if you can download it, build it and test that it works - then you are allowed to use what you want

               

              Since you have no support from Redhat on JBoss CE anyway, you're "on your own". However I would guess if you want help from the community on the forums, then using the latest official Final (7.1.1) would be recommended. We have some installations with 7.1.2 running in production with no problems.

               

              We are all still waiting for a proper JBoss CE 7.2 Final I guess...

               

              cheers,

              Stioan

                But it has already been released! It has just been renamed to JBoss EAP 6.1.Alpha, but that's just a different name for JBoss AS 7.2.Final.

                  We are currently using AS 7.1.1 but we have huge performance issues after 2-3 days. This seems to be fixed with AS 7.1.3 and we will give it a try if it passes our tests.

                    Well if it's fixed in 7.1.3 it is almost certainly fixed in 6.1.A (unlikely it has broken again since)

                      There are memory leaks in JBoss 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 which could impact performance as well. We have downloaded 7.1.3 sources and patched JTS systems with info from here: https://community.jboss.org/thread/205081?start=15&tstart=0

                      It might be worth to check which exactly version of JTS you have.

                       

                      In JBoss 7.1.1 there was also big issue with passing Weld context @RequestScope between WAR and EAR.

                       

                      Best regards
