What is the WildFly web profile version?

[leo.chen]

Hi All,

I understand there should be a lighter version of WildFly called Web Profile compared with the Full Profile. But I did not find the Web Profile package in the download page. Just Java EE7 Full & Web Distribution and Servlet-Only Distribution. My question is is Servlet-Only Distribution the ligher version Web Profile? If not, what is it used for?

Getting Started Guide - WildFly 10 - Project Documentation Editor should answer most questions, i.e. you download the whole distribution but then use standalone.xml or standalone-ha.xml profiles which are EE7 Web profiles.

Thanks for your reply. But can you please tell me what the  Servlet-Only Distribution is used for?

From our release announcement at WildFly 9 Final is released! · WildFly

> The new "WildFly Servlet" distribution, provides a stripped down, yet fully manageable Servlet-only distribution. This is useful for applications that prefer to roll-their-own frameworks, and wish to conserve disk space.

So it is what it says it is, a servlet container with our management interfaces, etc. It does not contain EJB, JMS, etc. You can somehow think of it as Tomcat.
