Red Hat keeps the pattern of changing the JBoss server drastically with every major release version and that is the case with JBoss EAP 6 as well.
One of the biggest differences are:
- Is starting to aim at a more OSGi oriented architecture, the full OSGi support is not there yet, but will be fully supported in JBoss EAP 6.1
- The configuration has changed dramatically, basically they have moved all configuration to one file instead of having them sprayed out the entire JBoss file directories. And then start using more default which leads to a great reduction of the configuration file.
- The startup and running lifecyle has changed and comes down to two ways domain and standalone, which is quite similar to Oracle BEA, if you are familiar with that.
But there were also more releases announced at the same day and maybe from a developer point of view, the most interesting was the the improved JBoss best practice documentation sites:
The JBoss Way
http://www.jboss.org/developer
JBoss Developer Framework
http://www.jboss.org/jdf/
Another big and important announcement is that the project Wolf has finally delivered. The project Wolf is about providing a centralized maven repository for the JBoss EAP development. And this repository is also shipped with JBoss EAP.
And all the presentation will be made available at http://www.youtube.com/redhat.
