About This Session
WildFly 8 (née JBoss Application Server) is Red Hat's open source Java
EE 7 compliant application server. It contains robust implementations
of WebSocket, Batch, JSON, Concurrency, JMS2, JAX-RS 2, CDI 1.1, and
all Java EE 7 technologies. Undertow is the new cutting-edge web
server in WildFly 8 and is designed for maximum throughput and
scalability, including environments with over a million connections.
The number of ports is reduced by multiplexing protocols over HTTP
using HTTP Upgrade.
Role Based Access Control support organizations with separated
management responsibilities and restrictions. Roles represent
different sets of permissions such as runtime operation execution,
configuration areas that can read or written, and the ability to audit
changes and manage users. In addition a new restricted audit log can
be enabled including the ability to offload to a secure syslog server.
It also provides a rich web-based administration console and a
powerful CLI for management. Multi instance cluster with high
availability can be easily created.
You don't even need to download WildFly in order to experience this
functionality. Applications can be directly deployed to OpenShift, Red
Hat's open source PaaS offering.
This session will provide an overview of all these features using
several live demos.
