Does JBoss AS 7.1.0 support EJB 1.1 and Struts 1.3

[jboss234]

We have an application uses EJB1.1 and Struts1.3 running on JBoss4.0.3, we are planning to upgrade it on JBoss 7.1.0.

Does JBoss AS 7.1.0 supports EJB1.1 and Struts 1.3.

Thanks,

EJB 1.1? JBoss AS7 supports EJB 2.1 and higher. In fact, I haven't even seen/read the EJB 1.1 spec and it's a surprise that there are applications using that version today.

Thanks for reply.

Do you know if JBoss AS 1.3 supports Struts1.3 application.

Thanks

Is that a typo? There isn't any JBoss AS 1.3 version.

Anyway, Struts is just another web framework. All you have to do is package it within your application and you should be able to use it in any version of JBoss AS.

Yes its typo, I was asking about JBoss AS 7.1.0

As you mentioned JBoss AS 7.1.0 doesn't support EJB 1.1, do you know best/quick way to migrate EJB 1.1 application to EJB 3.1.

Thanks,

What kind of EJBs did you use in EJB 1.1? EJB 3.1 is much simpler in that you require less classes/interfaces and lesser XML. But at the same time if your application used EJB container based persistence (CMP) then that will require a total rewrite to use Java Persistence API (JPA) along with the session beans.

[jboss234]

Our application has statefull, stateless session beans and it uses BMP.

Guide me if its possible to migrate quickly.

In short, every java EE container is backward compatible.

so if server supports EJB3.1 (as in AS7) it also supports all previous versions.

So you would be safe migrating to that, but as Jaikiran suggested it would be good if you start moving code to some never version of spec.

EJB3 brought so many simplifications that it is shame not to use them

as for BMP and CMP goes, AS7 still supports them, but WildFly 8 (new project name for Jboss AS) that implements EE7 has dropped CMP support all together.

This is technology that is crazy complex and rarely used this days so it became optional in EE7 specification and EE7 servers don't need to support it anymore.

You were right, I did try to deploy EJB1.1 and Struts1.3 demo application on JBoss AS 7.1.1 and its working fine with some configuration changes.

\We are going to upgrade application server from JBoss 4.0.3 to newer version. Which one is recommended among EAP6.3 Vs JBoss AS 7.1.1 Vs Wildfly 8.2.

How much is license cost for each of them for production use.

Thanks,

If you need official RH support and long product lifecycle than go for EAP 6.x (6.4 being latest)

If you don't need support or don't need it just yet go with WildFly, which will in near future become base for EAP7 for which you can get support if you will need it by than.

AS7 is old, and WildFly is its next version, we just released WildFly 9. CR1 with final coming in few weeks.

Thanks for reply.

Where can I find how many organizations using Wildfly8.2

Or

Where to find Wildfly 8.2 reviews.
