Using MVC 1.0 (part of Java EE 8) in WildFly

[juergen.zimmermann]

Ozark is Oracle's upcoming reference implementation of the upcoming MVC standard in Java EE 8. Since MVC will be based on JAX-RS, Ozark will be based on Oracle's Jersey.

Therefore, I think that Ozark (and the required Jersey) cannot be used with WildFly. Is this right? Will WildFly provide it's own MVC product?

At the moment it is just to early to say what will our implementation be.

Current state MVC spec & RI impl (Ozrak) are still in deep development mode and as such it is hard to tell what end impl will look like.

On end of the day when EE8 is out we will support also MVC 1.0 but how, that will be decided along the way.

Thank you, Tomaz.

Hey guys, I've been able to run an MVC app with Ozark on WildFly 10. See also Try out Ozark (Java EE 8 MVC) on WildFly 10.

Since this is still the number one hit on google when searching for MVC and Wildfly, I'd like to follow up:

Ozark has come quiet a long way and implemented most of it's features on the JAX-RS and CDI-APIs instead of hooking into jersey.

There is a RestEasy module that makes integrating with wildfly really easy: https://www.mvc-spec.org/ozark/docs/install-javaee.html

If you want to integrate even further, here is my take on a subsystem for wildfly 10. It will take care of activating MVC if it detects the @Controller annotation in your deployment archive: https://github.com/gtudan/wildfly-ozark

Two years later..:)

Are there any plans to provide MVC within Wildfly out of the box?

MVC 1.0 was dropped from EE8 and as such is not part of EE spec currently.

see MVC 1.0 is here to stay - JAXenter

But you can install it as part of your application as it is now.

see https://www.mvc-spec.org/  for more info.

There is also guide on how to use it on WildFly.
