Does Wildfly support java 1.8?

lioil1 Aug 20, 2015 4:06 PM

I am using JBoss but it seems it is now replaced by Wildfly. I do see the latest news of it being EE6 certified but am curious if anyone know if or when it will be java SDK 1.8 certified? Thanks

Yes WildFly 8 and newer is java EE7 (not just EE6) certified and runs on Java 8.

Most of support for Java8 came with WildFly 8.0, and it only got better with every next version.

WildFly 10, which is currently beta, requires JDK 8 as minimum to run.

In general see news on our website WildFly News · WildFly where we talk about all new stuff every release gets.

Do we need any settings for better performance of wildfly 8 in java 8? When checked Wildfly 8.2.1 on Java 7 & Java 8, the performance on Java 8 was not better.

there are so such performance tuning parameter available but setting correct GC algorithm , thread pool considering your heap allocation, number of concurrent users, nature of application can help you to get better application performance.

Hi,

WildFly 10.1 is the latest release, you should try with that version.
There were a lot enhancements between wildfly 10.1 and the early releases.

https://issues.jboss.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12313721&version=12331186

We swap from weblogic 12c to wildfly 10.1 in production and we don't have performance issues.

Good Luck!
