Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?

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.

No JPA2 implementation
Although we tried to make it happen, at this point there is no Hibernate 4 (JPA2 implementation) included in Fedora. Sad, but true. The reason for that are issues with packaging Gradle (build tool used in Hibernate). For more info please contact Carlo de Wolf.

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 updates-testing installed, Rawhide (tips on installing Rawhide below), or a nightly live image
Time
(optional) Your hardware profile uploaded to Smolt according to these instructions
(optional) Beer (if you're adult)

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

Use jboss-as-7.1.0-3 or later
Almost all test cases require jboss-as-7.1.0-3 or later. Note that today (16th April) the 7.1.0-3 package was submitted as an update. It should be available in updates-testing for the Test Day time. If not - please download it directly from Koji.

Management

Deployment

Other applications
A pretty good resource for sample apps is the OpenEJB site. But be careful when reporting issues.

Test Results

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla.

If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
