Have you often wondered what is the best JBoss product to solve a specific problem? Do you want to get started with a specific JBoss product and know how to integrate different JBoss products in your IT Systems? Then this is the book for you. Through hands-on examples from the business world, this guide presents details on the major products and how you can build your own Enterprise services around the JBoss ecosystem. Starting with an introduction to the JBoss ecosystem, you will gradually move on to developing and deploying clustered application on JBoss Application Server, and setting up high availability using undertow or HA proxy loadbalancers. As you are moving to a micro service archicture, you will be taught how to package existing Java EE applications as micro service using Swarm or create your new micro services from scratch by coupling most popular Java EE frameworks like JPA, CDI with Undertow handlers. Next, you will install and configure JBoss Data grid in development and production environments, develop cache based applications and aggregate various data source in JBoss data virtualization. You will learn to build, deploy, and monitor integration scenarios using JBoss Fuse and run both producers/consumers applications relying on JBoss AMQ. Finally, you will learn to develop and run business workflows and make better decisions in your applications using Drools and Jboss BPM Suite Platform.

Innovative microservice packaging with WildFly Swarm

WildFly Swarm is a WildFly extension project that aims to facilitate Java EE applications with minimum dependencies in the form of an executable JAR, called Uberjar or flat-jar. This JAR is deployed on an embedded container derived from the WildFly application server. WildFly Swarm is an initiative around the microprofile that aims to optimize Enterprise Java for a microservices architecture.
To create a flat-jar from a web application, you simply have to use the WildFly Swarm Maven plugin to package your web application:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.wildfly.swarm</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-swarm-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${version.wildfly.swarm}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>package</goal>
</goals&gt...
