I need to migrate my application from Jboss EAP 6.4 to WildFly. I am new to Jboss and not a developer. My application is currently deployed on Jboss 6.4 and it's working fine.
Can you please provide me with details on to how to migrate to WildFly server.
Which WildFly version should I use?
Are there any development work to migrate?
How to change configurations (like standalone.xml)?
Any hint or help to do this migration is appreciated. If you need any further information I can provide any details.
Based on the following resources, and my own personal experience, I find that Wildfly 8.2.1 is the closest I can get to EAP 6.4.
What Is The Wildfly Equivalent Of JBoss EAP 6.4
https://access.redhat.com/articles/112673#EAP_6
In terms of standalone.xml changes, I find that most of the changes I make to JBOSS EAP 6.4 and Wildfly 8.2.1 are interchangeable, but anything that includes an XML namespace will need to be updated. For example the loggers, datasources, security-domains use the same XML configuration, but their XML namespace has changed.
Now, as many have mentioned, this will vary tremendously based on your individual app and what subsystem components you're making use of. My own app tends to deploy using very few of the JBOSS capabilities/components, intentionally so that I can shift servers somewhat painlessly. However, other apps can integrate much more tightly and would require a great deal more to migrate.

We are looking to migrate existing applications on JBoss EAP 5.1 to Wildfly 10.
Please let me know if anyone has already done this migration and is there is any risks involved.
I have two instances of JBoss 5.1 running currently in two different VMs. One housing a webapplication and another enterprise application.
- I have doubts around if WildFly 10 being community edition, is it good to move from JBoss 5.1 EAP to Wildfly10?
The below is the migration guide:

Any one done migration from JBoss AS 4.2 GA to JBoss EAP 6.2?
Does JBoss EAP 6.2 has web and app server..? In JBoss AS 4.2 GA has the folder structure /server/app and /server/web where as in JBoss EAP 6.2 no server folder at all.
How to deploy the services in web and app in JBoss EAP 6.2?
Gone through the system migration guide, have to change the packaging structure of EAR or WAR due to change of modular class loading.
Where/how to find the system dependencies, user dependencies, local resources and inter-deployment dependencies in JBoss AS 4.2.
Thanks in advance.
Basically, JBoss 7 / EAP 6 is nearly 100% different, so there is no speaking of "migration". You will have to start from scratch; learning how the AS works, how to configure stuff (which is much easier to be honest and very well documented on the JBoss site) and to get the deployment of your application working. Which might be a very hairy thing to do if you have legacy tech such as Seam 2.
Luckily JBoss 7 is also quite nicely documented so guess what? There is actually some form of a guide. For JBoss 5 and up though, but it should still be helpful.

Have a look at the Windup project.
It is the official JBoss project to support (semi)automated migration. There are no rules for 4.2 yet, the current set of rules covers a subset of migration knowledge.
i am a newbie,today i am tring to use jboss and deploy my application with jboss,i did't use
jboss before ,when i try to download ,i log into the official website,click download Jboss Application Software 7,but it jump to JBOSS eap6.1.final download place,so i download the EAP6.1 instead. after sometinme of probing,i start the server with standalone mode and upload my app war file with Management Console,but i cann't access my app,my application name is MedicineManage
i try with: http://localhost:8080/medicineManage/login.jsp
here is the result
JBWEB000065: HTTP Status 404 - /medicineManage/login.jsp
what's the difference between AS7 and EAP6.1.0
somebody can explain for me ! thanks a lot
AS is the application server and it is an open source.
EAP is the enterprise application platform supported by red hat and red hat is often releasing the patches for this version.
For more detail just go through the web page it has clear difference between application server AS and Enterprise application platform.

Boot time of Jboss as 7 is less than Jboss EAP 6.1 and also memory consumption is less in Jboss as 7.
Find more about Jboss EAP 6.1 from here and Jboss as 7 from here. Follow these links for documentation about Jboss EAP 6.1 and Jboss as 7.
How ever JBoss EAP is a product that is officially supported by Red Hat. You get patches, updates, security fixes etc. It is shipped secure.
We're using Jboss, but we are really only using its JMS stuff. So, is there a way that I can trim down what's loaded when Jboss starts?
You can go for a servlet container (Tomcat) + a JMS provider (ex. ActiveMQ), without using an application server at all.
From 6 years ago, here's a blog entry about configuring JBoss with "just the right stuff."
I haven't used JBoss in a few years, but in v4.0, you could just drop the desired jar files into the deployment directory, and JBoss would load... only those jars.
The correct way to do this, is making a separate profile on your JBoss server that contains only the things needed to use JMS. JBoss v5 comes standard with several profiles: minimal, default, standard, all and web. Each of those starts other services. If you do not specify any profile, you're using the "default" profile.
You can create your own profile starting from a copy of the minimal profile and adding services as needed for JMS support.
The JBoss documentation contains a bit of information on what the files in those profile directories are used for. See Jboss server configurations.
You didn't specify which version of JBoss that you are using. Keep in mind that there are some changes in the configuration between JBoss v4 and JBoss v5/6. The referenced documentation in the answer from Cheeso points to JBoss v4.
I'm making a little project with Seam, Hibernate and JSF. This project run on JBoss 5.1.
My boss wants to deploy this project on WebLogic. I read on the seam documentation that seam and WebLogic don't work fine together.
I would like to know if I can use Hibernate (with JPA) and JSF on WebLogic and what framework (struts, spring?) I can use to replace Seam.
Edit: I read in the seam documentation (chapter 39, weblogic integration) and I find that:
For several releases of Weblogic there has been an issue with how Weblogic generates stubs and compiles EJB's that use variable arguments in their methods. This is confirmed in the Weblogic 9.X and 10.0.MP1 versions. Unfortunately the 10.3 version only partially addresses the issue as detailed below. So, I want to know if other problems like this exist.
Edit 2: I use Weblogic 10.3
What do you mean by "don't work fine together"? I've already seen Seam applications on WebLogic and the Seam documentation provides detailed instruction to run Seam on WebLogic without mentioning any blocking issue.
If you have something specific in mind, please clarify. But in the current state of the question, my advice would be to stick to Seam and to deploy your application on WLS.
