Hello All

 

I have just downloaded the JBoss AS 7.0. Beta3 version. According to the following article:

 

http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-application-server/308-jboss-as-7-introduction.html?showall=1

 

At the moment you cannot deploy a full stack Java EE application on JBoss AS 7.  Any idea whether it is available in this release or not?

 

Beta3 did not have complete support for EE components. The current AS7 upstream has a lot more support for EE. Infact, you are going to try out your application, then I would recommend using our nightly builds as explained here http://community.jboss.org/thread/167590. If you run into any issues feel free to report them in this forum. We'll be glad to help.

I am about to start working on a JavaEE based desktop application running on JBoss 7. So is it the right time to select JBoss 7?

 

Desktop application? If you mean Java EE application, then yes, choosing JBoss AS7 would be appropriate since a 7.0 release is coming soon.

So the 7.0 release which you have mentioned, will it have the complete support for EE components?

The release of JBoss 7.0 which you have mentioned above, is there an estimate time frame when JBoss 7.0 release will be available?

June 15 2011 (i.e. next week) is the planned date for 7.0 CR1 and if there aren't any major issues, it will be pushed to 7.0 Final release. So yeah, AS7 is coming very soon http://www.dzone.com/links/jboss_as7_is_coming.html.

In my organisation we have to choose the application server as soon as possible and we need make a decision as to whether we should go ahead with JBoss 6 if JBoss 7.0 release is not launching in near future?

 

 

The complete roadmap of AS7 can be found here https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aroadmap-panel

Hi rabbia,

thanks for reading the article which was originally written for the Alpha release of the application server and then updated when Beta 3 was released.

As suggested by Jaikiran, pulling out the nightly builds will be just enough for porting many EE 6 applications to JBoss 7. For example, I've successully deployed the whole Richfaces 4 demos and showcase to the release 7.

Hopefully, when the CR1 is released, I'll update the article as well.

regards

Francesco
