The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (or JBoss EAP) is a subscription-based/open-source Java EE-based application server runtime platform used for building, deploying, and hosting highly-transactional Java applications and services developed and maintained by Red Hat.[1] The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is part of Red Hat's Enterprise Middleware portfolio of software.[2] Because it is Java-based, the JBoss application server operates across platforms; it is usable on any operating system that supports Java. JBoss Enterprise Application Platform was originally called JBoss and was developed by the eponymous company JBoss, acquired by Red Hat in 2006.[3]

Product components and features

[edit]

Red Hat's latest JBoss EAP version is 7, with Cumulative Patches 2 and Cumulative Patches 3 (JBoss EAP 7.2 and JBoss EAP 7.3, respectively).

Lists of components,[6] features,[4] and standards supported[5] are available.

Licensing and pricing

[edit]

JBoss itself is free and open-source, but Red Hat charges to provide a support subscription for JBoss Enterprise Middleware. Red Hat allows the use of JBoss EAP for development, but to obtain support in production a support subscription is required and customizations are not supported.

[edit]

These products are part of the JBoss Enterprise Middleware portfolio of software,[2] or are included with the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform software.[7]

  • JBoss Enterprise Web Platform (or JBoss EWP)
    This software is a lighter weight version of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The key components are essentially the same as the full JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, but uses a slimmed down profile of the JBoss Application Server.[8]
    Lists of components[9] and standards supported[10] are available.
  • JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform (or JBoss EPP)
    This software is an enterprise portal with the core portal features of presentation, master page objects, containers, and a repository, and also an optional site publisher.[11]
    Key components:[12]
JBoss EPP implements the standards for Portlet 2.0 (JSR-286), JCR (JSR-170), OASIS WSRP 1.0, and OpenSocial.[19]
A list of components[20] is available.
The GateIn project is a merge of JBoss Portal 2.7 and eXo Portal 2.5 that produced GateIn Portal 3.0, and also the related projects GateIn Portlet Container, eXo JCR, and JBoss Portlet Bridge.[21][22][23][24]
Lists of components[27] and standards supported[28] are available.
  • JBoss Web Framework Kit
    This software is a set of web frameworks used for building light and rich Java applications.
    Components:[29]
  • JBoss Cache (or JBC)
    This software implements a cache for frequently accessed Java objects to improve application performance. The cache can be replicated and transactional. The cache can be replicated across one or more Java Virtual Machines (JVM) across a network. The cache can be transactional because a JTA compliant transaction manager can be configured and make any cache interaction transactional. The two types of JBoss Cache are Core and POJO, with the POJO library built on top the Core library.[30]
  • JBoss Netty
    This software is a New I/O (NIO) client-server framework for the development of Java network applications such as protocol servers and clients. The asynchronous event-driven network application framework and tools is used to simplify network programming such as TCP and UDP socket servers.[31] Netty includes an implementation of the reactor pattern of programming.
