PicketLink support for JBoss - jboss

Download JBoss EAP or WildFly
PicketLink can be used on both servers.
Use the PicketLink Installer to configure them with the latest version
of the PicketLink modules and libraries.
Does this implicit mean
it will work on my Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform - Version 6.4.5.GA?
I can't find any further information about version support, maybe someone has experiences and could give me a hint.

Solution
System Requirements
Make sure your environment is properly configured
as follows:
Java 1.6 or Java 1.7 PicketLink Federation Quickstarts JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform 6 or WildFly Servers.

Confused by wildfly versions used in EAP 7.2

I would have added this to another thread, but I am unable to comment on other's posts. And what I read did not answer my question. I just installed EAP 7.2.0.GA. In the console log, it says:
JBoss EAP 7.2.0.GA (WildFly Core 6.0.11.Final-redhat-00001)
However, others think it is around version 13. And when I look at the releases of wildfly ( http://wildfly.org/downloads/ ) a version 6 is so old it does not even show up and would have been prior to 2014...
So, how can it be 6.0.11.Final?
WildFly core is just a component in WildFly application server.
As such is also used in JBoss EAP which is a downstream product based on WildFly AS.
WildFly core is standalone project which provides most of core capabilities (management, cli, administration, subsystem infrastructure...) of the application server without any Java EE support, that is added to it by WildFly project.
you can see the sources for both at
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/
as for your confusion.
WildFly core 6.0.x is used in EAP 7.1 as well as in WildFly 14
which you an see also in the sources https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/14.0.0.Final/pom.xml#L375
micro version is not always exactly the same, as in the process of building downstream product of EAP, extra patches can be added.
WildFly Core is a component in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 (EAP 7). So, this log means:
JBoss EAP 7.2 - JBoss EAP in version 7.2
GA - General availability
WildFly Core 6.0.11.Final - component WildFly Core in version 6.0.11.Final.

Jboss Wildfly resteasy upgrade

I've googled to find detailed working tutorial for update Jboss Wildfly resteasy to latest version (3.0.17) but seems without solutions.
I'm testing on wildfly 10.0.0.Final release-version: "2.0.10.Final"
with resteasy core version. First question how to list (from shell or from Gui) all core modules version in use?
From official documentation i'm using jboss-jaxrs-api_2.0_spec-1.0.0.Final version but i want use for my project resteasy 3.0.17
I can accept globally upgrade and/or instruction to use resteasy 3.0.17 only in my war project "bypassing" core wildfly resteasy implementation.
I read official Jboss Resteasy upgrade but without success.
Is there some guide or complete tutorial about manage modules on jboss wildfly ?
Or someone has already had these headaches and can share suggestions ?
Have a look at this post from JBoss forum:
https://developer.jboss.org/thread/274219
Basically from Wildfly 11 it will be possible to see the module versions on console and in regards to the upgrade, it's manual work.

JBOSS latest version

I am going to start a new enterprise application. Which version I wanted to use?
Is it EAP 6.2.0 GA(EAP built from AS 7.3) or JBoss AS 7.1.0.Final or Wildfly 8.1.0.Final? I am very confused about these versions. when do i have to download EAP 6.2.0?
Also, why wildfly is not avaialbe on http://jbossas.jboss.org/downloads/? why?
I was having the impression that wildfly and jboss8 as are same. If both are same,
why it is not avalible in the downloads of above link?
the community version of JBoss has been renamed to Wildfly and can be found here: http://wildfly.org/downloads/. EAP 6.2 is the commercial version of JBoss provided by RedHat for which you get professional support by them.
Which version you choose depends on your requirements and whether you are willing to spend money for it ;) But if you are going with the community version, it wouldn't make sense to start with JBoss AS 7 since Wildfly 8 provides Java EE 7 support, JBoss AS 7 not. I've recently migrated a huge industry-strength project to Wildfly and am very surprised by the new application server. Nevertheless, with my current experience, I would recommend to go with EAP and professional support for large projects that utilize the whole Java EE stack. The only drawback there is that EAP 6 doesn't support Java EE 7 yet.
Jboss EAP is Red Hat product while wildfly is community version. Latest EAP version available currently is EAP 7.1.2, you will have to buy Red Hat subscription to use the same. Wildfly is opensource community version for the same, which you download and use freely.
Which version to be used will depend completely on your project requirement and budget. EAP would be more stable and tested product which can be used for critical production applications, also Red Hat will provide complete support if you purchase the subscription.
But if you have budget constraints and want to use free application server wildfly can be used.

What community version of Jboss is recommended for jdk 1.7 and why

I need to migrate from Jboss 5.1.0 GA to any other that supports jdk 1.7.
I'm currently using jboss 5.1 with seam 2, jdk 1.6 and sqlserver 2008 r2.
What community version of Jboss is recommended for jdk 1.7 and why?
Thanks in advance!
You can actually get JBoss AS 5.1.0 GA to run on JDK 7, see JBAS-6981. All of the following options will work with JDK 7:
JBoss AS 5.1.0 (plus the fix for JBAS-6981)
JBoss AS 6.1.0
JBoss AS 7.1.1
JBoss EAP 6.2
WildFly AS 8 CR 1
The right solution depends on your situation:
The simplest solution with the least risk is to stay with JBoss AS 5.1.0 and fix JBAS-6981 yourself. We did that and ran with it for over a year and it worked fine. Note however that JBoss AS 5.1.0 is end of life, eg. there aren't any security patches available.
If you don't want to fix JBAS-6981 yourself you can go with JBoss AS 6.1.0. This should be quite a simple migration because it builds on the same architecture and has the same disk layout. Note however that it is Java EE 6 which means among other things standardized JNDI names. Depending on your application this can have quite a bit impact — or none at all. Note however that JBoss AS 6.1.0 is end of life, eg. there aren't any security patches available.
The next "stable" community version is JBoss AS 7.1.1 with brings a whole new architecture. Depending on your application that can be quite a large migration — or a really simple one. However I would recommend against JBoss AS 7.1.1 as it's buggy as hell. Note there won't be any future releases for JBoss AS 7.1.1 as well.
JBoss EAP 6.2 builds on JBoss AS 7.1.1 (AS 7.3 actually) and contains many bug fixes (and some features). You either need to build it from source or get a license from Red Hat. There will be patches for EAP 6.2.
The current in development community version is WildFly AS 8 CR1. As you can see from the version name there isn't a stable release yet. And it contains a whole new servlet engine, which makes a whole lot of people nervous. I would only use it if you have really good integration tests.
I don't know what the situation regarding Seam is for any of them.
Note that sooner or later you'll have to migrate to a newer version of JBoss AS anyway. To judge how hard the migration will be you first need to know what dependencies on JBoss AS you have in your code.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform vs JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform

What can JBoss EAP do that JBoss ESP cannot? or vice verse?
Is it correct to say JBoss EAP is a subset of JBoss ESP? Meaning JBoss ESP has all the features JBoss EAP has, plus the SOA stuff?
This is the answer JBoss emailed to me.
JBoss SOA-P is a superset of JBoss EAP. Details such as version numbers are listed at http://www.jboss.com/products/platforms/soa/components/, but SOA-P is EAP plus an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), Business Process Management engine (jBPM) and a Rules engine (Drools).
The SOA Platform can do everything that the underlying version of EAP can do.
