We're currently in the process of purchasing enterprise edition of Jboss and facing some delay in the purchase cycle.
As an interim measure, thinking of starting the project with community edition and later on applying license to this, to convert to enterprise edition.
Is this doable ? Has anyone done this before ?
Appreciate any pointers on this please.
You can get a developer subscription from Red Hat for no cost. This will allow you to download any of the Red Hat software and access the Red Hat knowledge base.
I am new to Redhat and trying to deploy Redhat decision manager( decision central) V7.2 on tomcat server(v 8).As per online help I don't see any documentation to deploy decision central on tomcat. Please let me know if anyone has tried it before?
Red Had Decision Manager is not supported for Tomcat. Only Kie Server can be used with Tomcat.
See Red Hat Decision Manager 7 Supported Configurations and anchor [5] near different servers for more details.
This should be a simple 'google' ... but I have drawn a blank. I assume it must be out there somewhere, can anyone help me find it?
I need a simple comparison that tells me what is in and what is out of the Fuse ESB community edition vs the enterprise edition?
Here are some questions :
Is Red Hat Fuse is open source or commercial ?
What's main differences between Fuse ESB Enterprise and Community Edition (Comparing Features)
i downloaded jboss-fuse-full-6.2.0.redhat-133 from Red Hat Site and i cannot recognize it is Edition version or Enterprise edition
What if we use Community edition or Enterprise edition in Production usage ?
i did research some tutorial about Fuse ESB only i found is Apache Camel and CXF tutorials(All these are creating soap services from bottom) : Can i deploy/ publish existing (our SOAP service) to Fuse Management Console and Track and Monitor service's request and response ?
Our company has been searching Open Source ESB based on our needs to use it in Production Environment (Then we chose Red Hat FUSE)
Thank you.
Red Hat software is open source. You can download and use anything you can get from the 'free' distribution sites like https://developers.redhat.com. (Fuse version 6.2 is very old, by the way.)
The difference is that you get professional support when you buy a support agreement. Red Hat support only concerns the 'professional, product' versions of the software like 'Fuse'. The 'community' versions like Camel are not supportable by Red Hat support.
We are using Wildfly 10 and we want to use Red Hat AMQ 7 (standalone) remotely. I checked few documentation and found that ActiveMQ Artemis is also inbuilt in Wildfly 10, and I also configured it successfully to send and receive messages.
But as per our requirement, we want to use a remote AMQ broker so that it can be used as a centralized server and will be best suited in our enterprise requirement. Even I also want to understand the exact difference in using the ActiveMQ Artemis embedded in Wildfly and a remote Red Hat AMQ 7 instance, but I could not find enough information about it. If anyone is having any idea about it, please explain it.
I think there are three approaches to implement remote Red Hat AMQ.
Use the embedded ActiveMQ Artemis as a standalone server. I mean if we will install this Wildfly 10 in a separate server and if we can use that only for integration purpose and use the embedded ActiveMQ Artemis to connect with our Java application running on separate servers.
Install Red Hat AMQ 7.x as separate broker and connect it from the java application deployed on Wildfly 10. I checked Red Hat documentation and one point bothered me about this implementation as Red Hat claims "Currently AMQ 7.2 is only supported as a stand-alone broker. It has not be certified with EAP 7.0 or earlier. It is planned to be tested both as the internal broker of EAP 7.1 and as an external broker with EAP.". This is my preferred approach but I am not getting any documentation to implement it even Red Hat also not did it yet.
Install Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 2.x and integrate it from the application deployed in Wildfly 10.
I tried to get this information but as of now there is not much information available on internet for Artemis. It will be a great help if someone can explain the differences with pros and cons in above approaches.

As far as i know the EAP editions of JBoss Application Server (AS) are just a bunch of community edition JBoss projects with some sugar.
So, what is the community edition of the JBoss Application Server that JBoss EAP 4.3.0 corresponds to?
This response is really late but I came across the unanswered question in a Google search and I wanted to make sure there's a correct response. I work for JBoss support so you can consider this a qualified answer.
JBoss EAP is the only commercially supported version of JBoss. It contains JBoss AS and JBoss Seam. EAP diverged (in terms of the svn branch it's built off) from JBoss AS around version 4.2.1 (not exactly, but close enough). EAP has a 5-year lifetime and is tested and certified rigorously. EAP has paid commercial support and patches (called CPs or cumulative patches) that are designed to maintain ABI/API stability over time while allowing for security issues and bugs to be fixed. It is actually against policy to introduce a feature in a CP, but it happens on occasion.
If you're familiar with how Red Hat Enterprise Linux differs from Fedora, you can consider the difference to be quite similar. The JBoss project/product split is much newer, though, so the differences are smaller. Here's the official page describing what I've said.

According to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Component Details, JBoss EAP 4.3 is based on:
JBoss Application Server 4.2.1 with various updates, component upgrades, and bug fixes
The primary difference between EAP and the community release is that EAP is the officially supported configuration of the community edition, with fixed versions of the various components. RedHat was finding it too difficult to support the different component versions used by man+dog, and nailed it down to one set.
As for versioning, the EAP version numbers roughly track the community releases, but with differences:
EAP 4.2 is based on JBossAS 4.2
EAP 4.3 is also based on JBossAS 4.2.1, but with JBossMQ replaced by JBossMessaging, and Java6 support
EAP 5.0 is based on JBossAS 5.1
EAP 5.1 also seems to be based on JBossAS 5.1, with some cumulative patches
Edit:
EAP 6.x is based on JBoss Application Server 7.x
I've been digging into JBoss version information to try and find an answer to a more specific question i'm dealing with, and i thought i'd share my observations. You can get a picture of the names and dates of releases from JBoss's JIRA bug tracker: you can check out the info for the Community and Enterprise editions.
I was interested in the 4.2 branch rather than 4.3. If you hunt back a few years, you'll find that the Community release 4.2.0.GA came out on the 14th of May 2007, and was followed six weeks later by the Enterprise release 4.2.0.GA on the 3rd of July 2007. After that, the numbering diverged: the Community edition shipped point upgrades - 4.2.1.GA, 4.2.2.GA and 4.2.3.GA - every few months after that. The Enterprise edition instead shipped a series of 'cumulated patch' releases based on 4.2.0, starting with 4.2.0.GA_CP01 and hitting 4.2.0.GA_CP06 a few months ago. How do these releases relate to each other? I'm still not sure about this, but i think the theory is that the Enterprise edition doesn't gain any new features (within that branch), only bugfixes, but that those bugfixes are applied to both the Enterprise and Community editions. In fact, i suspect that in the case of my bug10, the fix was developed against the Community edition, and then crossported to the Enterprise edition, although i'm far from sure about that.
Turning back to your actual question, things are less clear. The Enterprise 4.3.0.GA came out on the 7th of January 2008, after the Community 4.2.2.GA, but before 4.2.3.GA. There is no Community 4.3.0, nor is there an Enterprise 4.2.x for any x > 0. Chris says that the Enterprise and Community versions "diverged", and i assume that what he means by that is that the Enterprise version is no longer based on just bugfixing a Community version, but rather is now an entirely separate development stream - presumably taking code drops from the Community edition where that's appropriate.
So, the answer to your question is some combination of: 4.2.2.GA (but only distantly), 4.2.0.GA (plus years of separate development), and mu.
While JBoss AS / Wildfly is really the basis for JBoss EAP, it's definitely not just "some sugar" what is added.
EAP is what went through an extensive testing and many many bug and security issues are fixed.
More, EAP is usually also faster after going though a period of performance tests, soak testing, and code analysis.
Also, EAP artefacts (jars) are all built by Red Hat, i.e. Red Hat is responsible for whatever is in them - i.e. you don't get whatever anyone puts in the central repo or whichever other repo you may have configured in your settings.xml (in case you build your own AS). Many of these third-party libraries are changed - CVE's fixed, performance issues addressed etc.
And lastly, EAP is way better in terms of features. For example, last 7.x release of JBoss AS is 7.1.1, year-and-something old, while EAP 6.1 is about a month old, and is way better in regards of manageability, stability, configurability etc. There is a several hundreds of commits difference between those two.
So, stating that "JBoss EAP X is based on JBoss AS Y" may be true, but at the same time misleading.
Check the EAP 6.1.
