WildFly Project News
I’m pleased to announce that the WildFly 19 Beta1 zip is now available for download. I typically don’t blog about the WildFly betas, but I want to this time because I’m so thrilled to be able to say we’ve gotten implementations of all of the MicroProfile 3.2 specifications in this release! This is the first WildFly release that includes all the MicroProfile platform specs. We’ve added three new subsystems to provide support for the...
What is a log filter? A log filter is used to add fine grained control over a log message. In the case of WildFly this is a java.util.logging.Filter. As of WildFly 18 there is the ability to use custom log filters. Creating a Filter To create a filter you must implement the java.util.logging.Filter interface. The filter must be in a module and can be defined on a logger or a handler via the filter-spec...
Galleon is a tool for provisioning Java runtimes. It comes with plugins for provisioning WildFly server instances. We have been using it internally in WildFly to build and configure the server the past few releases, and we recently introduced it into our OpenShift cloud image to be able to create a server with a smaller footprint than the default. This post will give an overview of how to use Galleon to provide your additions...
Introduction In this guide, we will show you how we can containerize a JAX-RS PostgreSQL demo application to run on WildFly in a local OpenShift cluster. We will explore the different options we have to configure the data source subsystem in a cloud-based infrastructure. First of all, we will use the WildFly Datasources Galleon Pack to bring in the PostgreSQL data source and driver configuration to our WildFly server. Later, we will show you...
WildFly 18 S2I docker images WildFly s2i builder and runtime Docker images for WildFly 18 have been released on quay.io/wildfly Changes since last release: New env variable GALLEON_PROVISION_LAYERS=<layers list> that you can use during s2i to provision a custom WildFly server. It does replace the GALLEON_PROVISION_SERVER that was only offering a subset of Galleon layers. You can now provision WildFly server by directly providing Galleon layers. This offers a lot of flexibility when composing...

Tuesday was a great day in the world of enterprise Java. It’s been a long road since Jakarta EE was born following Oracle’s announcement that stewardship of Java EE would be moving to the Eclipse Foundation. But after a lot of hard work by folks in the Jakarta community, Jakarta EE 8 has been released. Congratulations to everyone involved with the Jakarta EE Platform project and all the various spec projects. The ability to...

Jira Release Notes The full list of issues resolved in WildFly 17.0.1 is available here. Issues resolved in the WildFly Core...
