This book covers all details on administration and management aspect of this new version of the application server. Focusing exclusively on the management instruments of the application server, the book takes you through all of the latest architectural and performance changes. You'll progress from basic server configuration to more advanced techniques for clustering, JDBC connectivity, logging, and much more. What you will learn from this book: - How to install the application server on Windows and Unix/Linux systems including details for installing it as a service - Steps for packaging and deploying web applications - Configuring the services stack, including the new Undertow Web subsystem - Deploying Wildfly 8 with the Apache Web server and mod_cluster - Monitoring Wildfly 8 servers in realtime - Secure applications and encrypt their communication

This book is aimed at Java developers, system administrators, application testers using WildFly, and anyone who performs a DevOps role. Whether you are completely new to WildFly or just require an understanding of WildFly's new features, this book is for you.

Build a functional and efficient WildFly server with this step-by-step, practical guide In Detail WildFly 8 is a modular, lightweight, Java EE-compliant application server. Application deployment and management is simplified with WildFly's centralized and easy-to-use administration interface. It supports high availability and latest web technologies, such as web sockets and a non-blocking API. There was previously a lack of a system-administration-free platform that allowed the scaling of Java EE applications, but WildFly 8 in combination with OpenShift fills that gap. The book starts with an explanation of the installation of WildFly and application server configuration. Then, it moves on to the configuration of enterprise services and also explores the new web container Undertow. It then covers domain configuration, application deployment, and application server management. By the end of the book, you will have a firm grasp of all the important aspects of clustering, load balancing, and WildFly security. This guide is invaluable for anyone who works with or is planning to switch to WildFly. What You Will Learn Discover how to install, start, and stop your WildFly server, and gain an understanding of the WildFly modular infrastructure Configure WildFly's services such as transactions, threads, logging, Enterprise Java Beans, and Java Message Service Set up the Undertow web server Deploy applications on WildFly using various deployment strategies Use JBoss' cloud platform OpenShift to simplify the deployment and management of applications Manage the application server using the command-line interface and the admin console Improve scalability by configuring high availability, clustering, and load balancing Secure your WildFly server and enterprise application components using a number of authentication mechanisms Downloading the example code for this book.

With the increasing demand for distributed systems for Java applications, WildFly offers a robust platform on which to deploy and manage your services. As a matter of fact, WildFly 9 is a fully certified Java EE 7 platform and provides remote management tools, such as the redesigned Admin Console and the new and powerful Command Line Interface (CLI). With practical and accessible material, you will begin by learning to set up your WildFly runtime environment, and progress to selecting appropriate operational models, managing subsystems, and conquering the CLI. You will then walk through the different balancing and clustering techniques, simultaneously learning about role-based access control and then developing applications targeting WildFly and Docker.

Packed with practical examples, this book looks at a different aspect of performance tuning in each chapter and shows you how to apply them to their existing Java applications. Anyone with an interest in learning more and improving the performance of Java-based technology in general, all the way to WildFly in particular, will find this book useful.

JBoss Application server is the most popular open-source Java application server, renamed as WildFly. This book has been updated (May 2021) to guide you in improving the performance of modern applications running on the top of it, covering details such as: - Get the most from the environment where WildFly is running - Monitor and optimize the JVM by analyzing its behavior - Learn various tools to monitor WildFly - Monitor and tune various subsystems included within WildFly - Know the pros and cons of application server settings - Discover low level details to tune a clustered WildFly environment …and much more!

If you are a Java developer who wants to learn about Java EE, this is the book for you. It's also ideal for developers who already have experience with the Java EE platform but would like to learn more about the new Java EE 7 features by analyzing fully functional sample applications using the new application server WildFly.
