Limitations in JBoss EAP 6.1.1 (Jboss.org vs redhat)

[muthu.kumar]

Hi All

I have downloaded the JBoss EAP from Jboss.org and configured it for my customer. it works fine. But  when i tried to make the Jboss to run as service i could as  it does not have native libraries for Jboss.. When i raised in a same forum i got response that i need subscribe to redhat to get the native utilities..

I now understood that the version from Jboss.org is community version and it has limitations and the one with Redhat is enterprise version and it should be purchased  to use..

Please confirm if my understanding is correct ..   Also let me know what other limitations we have in JBoss EAP (Jboss.org) version..

Thanks in advance..

Hey,

given that you downloaded 6.1.1 which is only available in customer portal and not on jboss.org,

I would say you *do* have access to customer downloads and as such also native downloads.

for 6.1.1 you can get them under https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/listSoftware.html?downloadType=distributions&product=appplatform&version=6.1.1

look for "Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1.1 Native Components for Windows Server 2008 x86_64"

but you need to be logged in with active subscription to access that.

in any case i would recommend you to use some newer version of EAP 6, current latest being 6.4.0.GA
