JBoss Application Server 7 includes several key features: 1. It is a lightweight Java EE 6 compliant container that provides fast startup times of less than 3 seconds. 2. It simplifies classloading and configuration for easier management and deployment. 3. It supports the use of managed beans, dependency injection and common services as specified by the CDI specification.

4. Context and Dependency Injection Integration Testing with Arquallian demo

5. Community vs Enterprise Releases JBoss AS 7.0.2 current EE 6 Web Profile JBoss AS 7.1 EE 6 Full Certification EAP 6 due in early 2012

6. JBoss EAP 6 based on AS 7.1

7. Key features – Lightweight Container Fast startup, < 3 sec Lazy loading of services Simplified Classloading Deploys isolated from container User focused configuration A single configuration file Manage multiple instances at once Domain mode Smaller memory footprint Cloud readiness

8. Fast Startup Services are started on demand CDI beans.xml triggers CDI service (Weld) No need to Slim unused features

9. Simplified Classloading Java EE service dependencies only /WEB-INF/beans.xml exposes org.jboss.weld.core

10. Greeter cannot access org.slf4j com.redhat.greeter org.slf4j org.jboss.weld.core

11. Benefits of Java EE? Standard platform comprised of managed components & services Write business logic as components Less code

12. Higher signal-to-noise ratio

13. Powerful mechanisms for free

14. Portable knowledge

15. Drawbacks of Java EE 5 @Local and @Remote interfaces

16. Non Embeddable EJB container

17. Complex packaging

18. Verbose XML configuration

19. Boilerplate JNDI lookups

20. EJB 3.1 to the rescue! No more @Local and @Remote

21. Embeddable EJB container

22. EJBs in WAR

23. Annotation based configuration

24. EJB in light weight Web Profile

25. EE 6 Web profile– Key components Managed Beans (JSR-330) Google and SpringSource submitted JSR-330 with the aim of standardising &quot;a proven, non-controversial set of annotations that make injectable classes portable across frameworks&quot; Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) Implemented with WELD on AS 7 EJB 3.1 No Local and Remote Interfaces

26. EJBs in WAR archives!
