I’m happy to announce the beta release of WildFly 9!

For more details, check out the full release notes. Provided no major issues are discovered, we plan to move to CR fairly quickly, sometime in April. Enjoy!

In WildFly 9 Beta1 we are introducing a new capability to our Command Line Interface (CLI) tool: the ability to embed a WildFly standalone server process inside the CLI process, with the CLI interacting with the embedded server in a manner consistent with how it interacts with a remote WildFly server. All of the standard CLI commands that you can use to administer a remote server are available. The immediate goal is to support direct...

WildFly cartridge allows you to start a WildFly instance in OpenShift Online. JBoss Developer Studio provide comprehensive tooling...

WIldFly enables high availability of a Java EE application using session failover and load balancing. Session failover allows uninterrupted access to an application, even in the presence of a node failure. Load balancing allows for a timely response from the application, even in the presence of high volume requests. WildFly can operate in standalone mode which is an independent process, much like JBoss Application Serer 3, 4, 5, and 6. It can also operate in...

by Hildeberto Mendonça and Efraim Gentil from CEJUG Serious open source projects should be backed up by at least one company who has genuine interest to be profitable with that project in the long run. It’s a matter of fitting the project in the current economic model, where people can be employed full time to address the continuous flow of issues and features coming from users all over the world. That’s what happens all the...

Hello everyone. I recently revamped the WildFly.ORG website, and I hope you will find it to be a much more useful source of information about the WildFly project. Walkthrough I’d like to take you through a short tour of what’s on the website. The website is based on the JBoss community bootstrap theme. So it should operate in a familiar manner to other JBoss community websites. Main Landing Page ~~~~~~~ The first page aims to...
