You can't use AS 7.1 with SwitchYard 1.0.0.Final.  You need EAP 6.1.  Check out the install guide:

That's unfortunate as it seems that EAP cannot be used in production (EAP 6.1 download page requires registration and is for "development only").

Thanks Jan

It's important to keep a few things in mind here:

1. We had to upgrade past 7.1.1.Final and there were no further community releases of AS available, so the switch to EAP was required to pick up an AS update.
2. We deliberately preserved support for EAP 6.1 Alpha in addition to EAP 6.1 GA.  AFAICT, EAP 6.1 Alpha is available without registration and I was able to download without any text around whether it can be used in production (http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/).  I'm sure someone on the EAP team could provide clarification if you require it.
3. We are planning on adding Wildfly support in our distribution to keep a community platform option available.  This will not be available for SY 1.0.0.Final, but will be there in an upcoming release.
