Mastering JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7

By: Francesco Marchioni, Luigi Fugaro

Overview of this book

The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) has been one of the most popular tools for Java developers to create modular, cloud-ready, and modern applications. It has achieved a reputation for architectural excellence and technical savvy, making it a solid and efficient environment for delivering your applications. The book will first introduce application server configuration and the management instruments that can be used to control the application server. Next, the focus will shift to enterprise solutions such as clustering, load balancing, and data caching; this will be the core of the book. We will also discuss services provided by the application server, such as database connectivity and logging. We focus on real-world example configurations and how to avoid common mistakes. Finally, we will implement the knowledge gained so far in terms of Docker containers and cloud availability using RedHat's OpenShift.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a mechanism for configuring a set of permissions for EAP management users. It allows multiple users to share responsibility for managing EAP servers without requiring unrestricted access to them. By providing separation of duties for management users, JBoss EAP makes it easy for an organization to divide responsibility between administrators or groups without granting unnecessary privileges. This ensures the maximum possible level of security of your servers while still providing flexibility for management, configuration, and deployment.

Out of the box, the following roles are predefined in EAP 7, covering most common use cases:

Description

Monitor

This role has the fewest permissions and can only read the current configuration and state of the server. Typically used for end users that need to watch the server metrics and availability.

Deployer

This role extends the Monitor permission, enabling the deployment of application...
