WildFly 11 Final is now available for download! The highlights of WildFly 11 are as follows: Elytron - New Security Infrastructure The biggest change in WildFly 11 is unification on a new common security framework across the full application server. Previously we had two separate security infrastructures (picketbox and security-realms), each covering separate use cases, and largely operating independent of the other. In addition to unification, Elytron brings a number of advanced capabilities such as...
WildFly supports running a standalone server in Offline mode as an embedded server. An analogous capability has been added for domain mode in the form of running an offline host controller. This article discusses some of the details and possible applications of this feature. Introduction For those not familiar with the existing embedded standalone server, see: Offline mode Running an Embedded WildFly 9 Server in the CLI · WildFly. One of the major use cases...
The upcoming WildFly 11 release includes support for OpenSSL. This provides two main advantages over JSSE: Support for ALPN on all JDK’s Significantly improved performance compared to JSSE Setting up OpenSSL In general for Linux based systems all that is required is to install a recent version of OpenSSL using your systems package manager. The OpenSSL support will search the library path, and use whatever version of OpenSSL it finds. The same applies to MacOS...
WildFly 11 is integrating Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 1.5 to provides its messaging features. New features With the integration of Artemis 1.5, WildFly has udpated its messaging-activemq subsystem to provides new Artemis features through WildFly management model. The two new main features are the JDBC Store and the configuration for ActiveMQ client thread pools. JDBC Store The JDBC store is an alternative to Artemis File journal that uses a SQL database to store broker state (messages,...
A significant improvement in WildFly 11 is much better support for referential integrity when one resource in your configuration refers to another resource. Going beyond just checking that your references are correct, the server provides reference information that our CLI and the HAL web console are able to use to suggest valid values to you as you set up your configuration. Configuration references When you are configuring a WildFly server, a common thing you need...
In WildFly there used to be two worlds : one for developers with exploded deployments using a scanner and one for production where artifacts (wars/ears/jars) were deployed. Now those two worlds have collided and you can have exploded deployments without a scanner. And since this is using the management API you get remote access to the content for "free" and of course it works in domain mode. While this new feature is really usefull for...

We are proud to announce our public CI system, which is running integration tests for WildFly, WildFly Core, Undertow, and many other related projects. This system ensures that we do not merge anything that is broken and that our master is always stable. CI also helps us with testing pull requests by: Making sure the code works on most common target platforms, currently Linux and Windows. Integration testing components as part of the full WildFly...
Red Hat, with its years of experience supporting large scale software systems, has always been a strong proponent of modular Java. Over time, we have delivered many products and solutions that provide and support popular modular environments like Java EE, and OSGi. Since 2011, we introduced a flexible modular implementation called JBoss Modules, which is capable of supporting the core modularity needs of both Java EE and OSGi, but is usable in a standalone manner,...
