Test Day:2012-04-17 JBoss Application Server

JBoss Application Server 7
Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on JBoss Application Server. This time we're testing version 7.1.0 which is planned as a Feature for Fedora 17.

JBoss Application Server 7 is the latest release in a series of JBoss Application Server offerings. JBoss Application Server 7, is a fast, powerful, implementation of the Java Enterprise Edition 6 specification. The state-of-the-art architecture built on the Modular Service Container enables services on-demand when your application requires them.

For more information about JBoss AS please refer to its homepage.

Custom build
The included JBoss Application Server is a custom build. It means that it's not exactly the same as upstream's distribution. The Fedora version includes only JEE 6 web-profile. The main reson for that were time constraints.

JBoss AS will be extended with new updates to the full version over the time.

Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
 * Marek Goldmann (mgoldmann on IRC)

Prerequisite for Test Day

 * An Fedora 17 pre-release with all updates from  installed, Rawhide (tips on installing Rawhide below), or a nightly live image

How to test?
Additional to below test cases, you can (or even should!) do some testing on your own!

Some hints:


 * Please use CLI to manage and deploy, make sure it works correctly. We don't have the web management interface yet, so we need to use CLI.
 * Deploy your own apps (note that this is a custom build and not all subsystems are available!)

Test Cases

 * 1) Install and run
 * 2) Add management user
 * 3) Execute readonly management tasks
 * 4) Deploy servlet application
