We have the requirement of configuring the rules in UI by the business users. The jBPM seems a perfect fit which has the Business Central to design the rules and backed with Kie Server for the rules execution. The docker image (jboss/jbpm-server-full:latest) which is the combination of Business central and Kie Server we are planning to use.I noticed that it uses Wildfly Server instead of Jboss(which requires subscription) and comes up with GNU license.Can someone please explain whether i can use the software for commercial use or not.Also please explain whether the Business central and Kie Server has any license for commercial use.
Every KIE project is under the Apache 2.0 License so it's perfectly legal to use for commercial use.

I am exploring the possibility of using the community version of FUSE ESB in a production system for a period of one year. Is it possible? Can you please provide some advice here?
Just like RHEL, can I continue to use RedHat Jboss FUSE in production environment free of cost, without availing the support? If I understand correctly, the subscription is for support.
Have your legal team review the agreement. My understanding matches yours. There are no technical limiting factors (no registration keys, etc), and Fuse is free to use the software for development purposes, but production usage requires a subscription.
Your understanding is correct. The entitlement is for support, not product usage.
does anyone know how licensing works for JBoss Fuse in a DR environment - say for example we need an active AMQ container running in DR with replicated db, would this count towards the core licensing?
If so is there any way to have anything other than cold DR without a license impact.
Technically, JBoss Fuse is not licensed. One would purchase an entitlement/subscription from Red Hat. An entitlement allows access to both the software and technical support. There is a 'self-supported' entitlement that provides access to the documentation and the knowledge base and software, but does not include the ability to open a support case.
There is no restrictions on the number of deployments with an entitlement.

I want to ask about JBoss Middleware for ISO8583.
So, I kinda new on ISO8583, from what I know is we could use JPOS framework for this one. Then my supervisor ask me to research about JBoss Middleware that could be used to develop middleware application for send, receive, and parse ISO8583 message.
I have read on JBoss Middleware website, unfortunately I'm still not sure which JBoss technology should I use to develop such application.
Here is my questions:
1. In order develop enterprise application that capable to send, receive, and parse ISO8583, should I combine JPOS with JBoss Middleware? or JBoss Middleware has a complete capability to handle it?
2. Does anyone has/know good material/tutorial for me to learn about building ISO8583 middleware with JBoss technology?
Thank you.
JBoss Middleware is a family of products and its components alone do not provide ISO8583 capabilities out of the box.
jPOS is one of the most popular Java frameworks that provide complete capabilities to handle sending and receiving ISO8583 messages. There are other alternatives such as j8583 and IsoTypes.
You can combine any of these ISO8583 libraries together with JBoss Fuse (part of the JBoss Middleware family) to build a solution capable of sending, receiving and parsing ISO8583 messages.
I'm not aware of a definitive guide about building such solutions. If you need to use JBoss Middleware, you can follow this route:
Look into IsoTypes, which provides an ISO8583 marshalling library for Apache Camel (used by JBoss Fuse).
Start by building a Camel route that implements the IsoType library functions. Look into this sample project.
Please, be aware that building a production ready ISO8583 server and/or client from open source solutions require significant work in terms of scalability, information security and compatibility with multiple financial hosts and switches.
My answer only refers to the first basic steps to understand your problem/solution fit a bit better.
As a side note, you may be interested in looking at jreactive-8583, an ISO8583 connector that handles message parsing and the network layer out of the box. You may build your application using this and deploy it into JBoss Application Server (part of the JBoss Middleware family too). I use it in production.
You can take advantage of JPos Q2 and create a servlet deployable to JBoss container.
In the service init method you can do this:
Q2 q2 = new Q2();
q2.start();
I want to execute Drools rules via REST or SOAP.
I'm already using Drools Guvnor as facts, rules designer/repository. And it works just fine, but I haven't found any clear guidance on how to deploy these rules for execution.
I would be grateful if anyone points to tutorial.
Is it achievable without Eclipse?
If you're looking to execute Drools rules via REST or SOAP, look into Drools Server.
http://www.plugtree.com/drools-server-overview/
In this setup, your rules are actually executed on the remote server.
If you just want to use the built rule package from Guvnor in a standalone Java application, there is plenty of information in the Guvnor documentation that will show you how to use the URL where guvnor exposes your compiled package. See Chapter 9 for Knowledge Agent configuration.

Is there a difference between Drools and Jrules? Is Jboss rules the same thing as Jrules? What type of environments typically use Drools?
Similarities:
At the end of the day these two applications are BRMS so yes, they are similar
Both offers you the ability to:
- store rules in a repository
- write rules in a web environment
- execute the rules on a server
JRules is from far the best approach for business users (non technical).
JBoss rules is from far the best approach if you look for a non stupidly expensive solution
Both can do CEP as well. (Complex Event Processing)
Differences:
JRules is more mature than Drools but Drools is a great tool to work with
Drools uses JSON to write technical rules JRules uses IRL (Ilog Rule Language). Don't worry you can add "verbalisation" with Drools but it is less powerful than with JRules.
The main differences are from a business (non technical) point of view.
If you want to be able to write a rule in a proper human language like :
if the age of the applicant is less then 18 then reject the application;
you can do it with both.
Now if you want the business to write rules in Hindi, review them in French, validate them in German and do some report in English then JRules is the BRMS you need.
You can write rules directly in Excel or Word with JRules.
Because Drools is from the free world you may face some few bugs but as it is free, you have access to all the source code compare to JRules where part of the API is hidden
What environment:
For Drools I would say JBoss :)
JRules = JBoss, WebSphere, Weblogic, Tomcat, ... and more
For this one: RTFM really. Depends on your needs.
Google may give you some benchmark on the various BRMS.
To sum up:
If you have money (loaded) then JRules
If you are poor or geeky then Drools - you will have fun, really :)
Note: I talk about "Drools" not "JBoss rules" supported by Red Hat.
Difference between them is the Red Hat version is not the latest Drools one and do not have exactly the same functionalities as Drools.Simply because Red Hat support their version so they evoluate less quickly than Drools. Basically they choose a version at one time and decide to use it while drools still change... You got my point, hopefully.
Hope it helps
No, Drools is the open source rules engine. It includes several sub projects, like Drools Expert, Drools Fusion, Drools Guvnor, etc.
Red Hat packages and supports Drools as the JBoss Enterprise BRMS product.
JRules is the rules engine from ILOG that was acquired by IBM.
From Red Hat's site:
For example, did you know that between the JBoss Drools community
project v5.1 and Red Hat's JBoss Enterprise BRMS v5.1, there were 150+
bug fixes, 5 security fixes, and several performance enhancements? ...
Red Hat's JBoss Enterprise BRMS product is based on the innovative
work done by members of the JBoss Drools community project. However,
it is not a one-to-one relationship and only JBoss Enterprise BRMS
offers assurance from Red Hat through an enterprise subscription that
includes patches and updates, SLA-based support, and multi-year
maintenance policies. With Red Hat's JBoss Enterprise BRMS, you can
manage the technical and political concerns that get in the way of
deployment.
Our support is first class. The Red Hat Customer Portal is award-
winning and Red Hat consistently outpaces proprietary competitors in
support rankings.
But JBoss Enterprise BRMS is more than product stability. Our
professional services team has a wealth of experience that will help
even the most experienced JBoss Drools developers to harness the full
power of the rules platform. And powerful it is!
JBoss Enterprise BRMS: where the power of JBoss Drools meets the
assurance of Red Hat.
