JBoss AS7 Reloaded
25 likes7,075 views
The document provides an overview of JBoss Application Server 7. Key points include: - JBoss AS 7 has a modular, lightweight architecture compared to previous versions. It uses a modular service container (MSC) for fast startup and classloading. - Modules isolate dependencies and allow different versions to coexist. The server and deployments are implemented as modules. - JBoss AS 7 is certified for Java EE 6 Web Profile and aims to be small, fast, manageable, and embeddable compared to previous versions. - New releases will continue adding functionality toward a full Java EE 6 implementation while maintaining the goals of performance and modularity.

- 6. Andiamo Java EE 6
- 7. The path to Java EE6 • JBoss AS 6.0 • Deliver faster on Java EE6 • Baking time for EE subsystems • Measure interest on EE profiles • Stepping stone for AS7 • New Stuff • HornetQ (Messaging) • Infinispan (Caching) • Apache CXF (Web Services) • Embedded Jopr Console • mod_cluster
- 8. The path to Java EE6 (cont.) • JBoss AS 6.0/6.1 • Java EE6 Web Profile++ (or EE6 Full--) • Based on the 5.x Microcontainer • More lightweight than AS5 • Gotchas • JBoss AS6 will *not* be productized! • Currently in community maintenance mode
- 10. A hard look in the mirror • Typical Pain Points • Excess baggage (legacy subsystems and abstractions) • Boot time & memory footprint • Embeadability/testability • Administration options • Modularity • It’s “free and it doesn’t suck” not enough anymore
- 11. Getting our Mojo back! • Major Goals • Make it Smaller, Faster • Improve Manageability • Simplify Configuration • Clean things up! • Remove abstraction layers • Remove legacy stuff • Modularize
- 14. Introducing JBoss AS 7 *A blazingly fast modular lightweight elegantly administrable compliant application server with easy testing facilities – Carlo De Wolf, 2011
- 15. JBoss AS 7 releases • AS 7.0 – released Jul/2011, • EE6 – Web Profile (+JCA, +JAX-RS) certified • AS 7.0.1 – released Aug/2011 • MDB support, JSR-88, JPA w. older Hibernate 3 • AS 7.0.2 – released Sep/2011 • JSF 2.1, @Asynchronous, PicketLink SSO, etc. • AS 7.1 – released Feb/2012 • Full EE6, clustering, improved security, etc. • AS 7.1.1 – released Mar/2012 • maintenance release
- 16. AS7 Key Features • Fast and Lightweight • Modular, OSGi enabled • Unified, user focused configuration • Multiple management interfaces • Support for multi-node management
- 17. AS7 Architecture JBoss MSC DMR Controller Threads Modules Server Controller Service Deployers VFS Jandex Reflect Cache Repository Core Infrastructure FS Secanner Transaction Datasource Messaging Connector Remoting Security JAX-RS Naming OSGi EJB3 Weld SAR Web JMX JPA WS EE Subsystems
- 18. JBoss Kernel Taxonomy • JBoss AS 2.x, 3.x, 4.x • JBoss JMX MicroKernel • JBoss AS 5.x, 6.x • JBoss MC - MicroContainer • JBoss AS7.x • JBoss MSC - Modular Service Container
- 19. Key attributes of MSC Small, lightweight, and efficient Highly concurrent & scalable state machine Services are primarily interface based Only two states, Up & Down Multiple startup modes •Active, Passive, On-Demand, Lazy, Never Service Builder Service Registry Service Controller Service Deps Value Listeners Injectors Concurrent Service Container
- 20. So What?
- 21. #@*%ing fast! http://community.jboss.org/wiki/AS7StartupTimeShowdown
- 24. How is it done? • Concurrent startup/deployments • Faster resource lookup/classloading • Annotation indexing • Caching of reflection metadata • Lazy loading of (some) services • StAX based descriptor parsing • Starting from scratch
- 25. Modularity* *The Class Path is Dead – Mark Reinhold, 2009
- 26. Hierarchical Class Loading • Issues • All jars always loaded, whether used or no • Version conflicts, especially with servers libs • Increased lookup/load time • Hard to debug (big ball of mud) • JBoss AS 5 introduced module-like capabilities • jboss-classloading.xml
- 27. Modular Class Loading • A graph of Class Loaders, not a tree • Modules delegate to one another as peers • A module imports modules it directly uses • Transitive dependencies are hidden, by default • Different module versions may co-exist
- 28. JBoss Modules Small, lightweight, and efficient •Highly concurrent class loading •Fast with O(1) dependency resolution “Pure” modular class loading •Modules only see what they import •Including JDK classes External module definitions •Don’t have to break open the JAR
- 29. modulesorghornetqmainmodule.xml <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="org.hornetq"> <resources> <resource-root path="hornetq-core-2.2.10.Final.jar"/> <resource-root path="hornetq-jms-2.2.10.Final.jar"/> </resources> <dependencies> <module name="javax.api"/> <module name="javax.jms.api"/> <module name="javax.resource.api"/> <module name="org.jboss.jts"/> <module name="org.jboss.netty"/> </dependencies> </module>
- 30. User Deployments • Deployments are also modules (.ear, .war, etc.) deployment.foo.ear deployment.foo.ear.bar.war deployment.foo.ear.bar.jar • Cannot access server implementation details, unless explicitly specified META-INF/MANIFEST.MF Dependencies: org.javassist, org.apache.velocity
- 31. Implicit Module Dependencies Setup by the appserver/deployers automatically, e.g. META-INF/ejb-jar.xml, @Stateless, @Stateful, @MessageDriven import javaee.api module @PersistenceUnit, @PersistenceContext, <persistence-unit-ref>, <persistence-context-ref> import javaee.api module import org.jboss.as.jpa module import org.hibernate module import org.javaassist module
- 32. What about OSGi?
- 33. JBoss OSGi • AS7 is fully compliant with OSGi v4.2 Core • Implemented on top of JBoss MSC/Modules • OSGi bundles become JBoss Modules • Deploy your OSGi bundles, as usual
- 34. JBoss OSGi • Out-of-the-box • OSGi Core 4.2, Config Admin, JNDI, JTA, JMX* • Extras with installer • Web Apps, HTTP Service, Blueprint, Web Console *This may change
- 35. Management* *Keeping Administrators Happy
- 36. Two Operational Modes Standalone •Traditional JBoss single JVM server •Management facilities IN-VM •No lifecycle management (only shutdown) Domain •Multi-JVM, multi-server model •Management coordinated by Domain Controller Process •Multiple server instances (JVMs) per Host •Full lifecycle managed by Process Controller
- 37. Domain Mode Physical Topology
