Is possible deploy applications developed with GWT 2.x on Jboss 4? - gwt

I want to know if is possible deploy GWT 2.x applications on server with support for the servlet spec 2.4 like JBoss 4.
I have reviewed the official documentation but apparently there is no dependences. So my questions are:
Is possible?
Is needed workarounds?
Any has some previous experience?

Yes It is possible. You can deploy GWT applicaions to any external web server like Tomcat, Jboss etc. Your question is bit wide in context. So, better look at some tutorials.
This tutorial will help you more. I have not gone into details of this but seems good.

Microservices application deployable in an old JavaEE application server

I've a big problem, and I hope that someone could help me!
I would like to refactor an old legacy JavaEE application.
The refactoring I've in my mind is very deep and I would like to redesign the application moving towards a microservices architecture using Java again.
Many frameworks exist for doing that, but I would like use one of the following: Quarkus (my favoutire), Microprofile and Vert.x.
The problem is that I got the indication that the new application must be deployable on old application servers, such as WebSpere 8.5.5, WebLogic 12c, and must be deployable in a Kubernetes environment without any application server.
Is there any way to meet this last requirement?
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

get started with wildfly confusing

Can anyone suggest a good tutorial how to get started with a JEE application using WildFly server?
I am little confused right now cause at first I decided to start with an official website of the wildfly.
I found some guide links in there and seems like a half of pages are not found or missed.
For example, they have a Getting Started Developing Applications Guide link, when I go there there is another one link which leads to the github page and returns 404 page.
Ok then, i wen to github page with documentation and found following section which describes a list of quickstarts.
So as it says
Quickstarts with tutorials in the Get Started Developing Applications are noted with two asterisks ( ** ) following the quickstart name.
But again if you go to this link it is not found as well and so on.
To be honest I am kind of tired of this confused documentation so I am looking for a best approach how to get my JEE application up and running using WildFly as a server container.
So any suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.
If you want to get started with Java EE then have a look at the Java EE 7 tutorial.
If you're looking to just start WildFly so that you can deploy an application you simple download the zip, extract it and use either bin/standalone.sh or bin\standalone.bat to start it. You can get further information about getting started with WildFly here.
The quickstarts are good examples of some simple applications that can be deployed. The README is pretty descriptive on how the quickstarts themselves work, but isn't meant to be a Java EE 7 tutorial.

Why does NetBeans use Tomcat Manager (and Eclipse does not)?

As a long-time J2EE developer, I have always been curious as to why NetBeans uses(i.e. forces you to use) the Tomcat Manager app to deploy while Eclipse seems perfectly happy/able to deploy without the manager app? Though I have googled this exhaustively over the years, I have never found even the beginning to an answer. Perhaps this is nothing more than how each product started and has never changed.
Does anyone have any insight or educated theories they would be willing to share?
[Edit] Sigh... to address shekhar's comment, I see that it is not absolutely clear that I am referring ONLY to using Tomcat. I mistakenly assumed that the title and context of my question was sufficient, but again, I am specifically referring to using Tomcat as the Servlet Container with these IDEs. Thanks.
[Edit] I don't know who down-voted this but I have researched this for a long time and found zero reason for it. As for down-voting because it might not be useful, I think that is in the eye of the beholder; also, it usefulness can only be determined based on the answer which is why I am asking.
Sounds like a good topic for Quora but anyway...
I can only speak about NetBeans. It originally used a patched version of Tomcat 3. (early NetBeans 3.x releases). Tomcat Manager was added in Tomcat 4 and it was used because it was possible to integrate easily with your Tomcat installation without knowing much details about their setup. Start/stop Tomcat can use default scripts and will pick up your settings. Deploy does not need to care about access rights and it just assumes that manager works.

Netbeans Web Service Client not found

I've always used eclipse before, but I'm using Netbeans for the first time because of it's integration with Web Service clients.
However, after following multiple tutorials, the way to add a web service client is to:
https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/websvc/flower_swing.html
Make a new project
Right click on your project, New->Other->Other->Web Service Client
However, I do not have the web service client option available, not sure what I am doing wrong.
Please mention the net beans version you have. You should use newer version of the IDE to use latest features.
For other developers who will face this problem like me, I will leave my answer here.
I'm currently using Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 and it's in Web Services -> Web Service Client. If you still cannot find it, just use filter feature. I found it with filter.

Glassfish and JBI support, (SOA APPLICATION SERVERS)

We could see JBI in Glassfish V2 but it is not in V3, what's happening? Which application server is useful for SOA development?
can I deploy WSO2 on Glassfish or JBoss?
RGDS
I'm not sure this answer is definitive, just based on my own experience with these systems.
JBI isn't a Glassfish feature (if it ever was its news to me). Its a (kinda/sorta) Sun community standard which has many implementations (ServiceMix to name one of several) that can be installed on any J2EE container (such as Glassfish to name one). Although it was once very popular it seems to have fallen on hard times of late, perhaps simply because ESB hype got swamped by the new wave of cloud hype.
WSO2 is much larger and includes JBI as one of its many options. By default its based on its own embedded Tomcat, but WSO2 claims its possible to run it on an external Tomcat (I never managed to make this work). To my knowledge no one has tried or succeeded to make it work on Glassfish.
