AS7 in a nutshell
Fast

Very fast

Blazingly fast (<3s startup)

AS7 in a nutshell (seriosly)

Blazingly fast (<3s startup)

Lightweight
Modular core
Hot, parallel deployment
Elegant administration
Domain management
Easy testable

Boot time

Memory

Core rewritten from scratch to achive..

Improved usability, increased

manageability, simplified configuration
Domain management
Multiple consistent management
interfaces

CLI, Java API, HTTP API, Console

Unified user-focused configuration

Modular

Only API no implementation details

True isolation

Simplified user-focused configuration

Standalone mode

Standalone is a single AS process for use in

development, where the additional
management functionality is not required
Provides a similar development experience
to previous versions of the JBoss AS,
allowing a deployment to be dropped in a
folder and automatically be deployed
Same management tools and APIs as
domain mode

Domain mode

Easy management of multiple JBoss AS

instances
Managed from a single point, all have
access to the same domain configuration
Allows for management and configuration
updates to be pushed out to all servers
Domain mode has three separate processes

Process Controller

Host Controller

Server instance

Domain processes

Process Controller

Responsible for managing, starting / stopping

processes
Extremely simple

Host Controller

One host controller is the domain controller,

the rest are slaves
Domain controller responsible for pushing
management and configuration changes

Domain mode

Demos

Booting standalone mode

Booting domain mode

Architecture

JBoss Modules

New classloading project

Provides a modular (not hierarchical)
classloading environment

Classloading is extremely fast

Classloading is truely isolated by default

Classloading is extremely flexible

Hierarchical classloading

Modular classloading

JBoss Modules

Fast

O(1) dependency resolution

Concurrent (lock-free in most Vms)

Pure modular classloading

Can only resolve what they import

External configuration (module.xml)

Dynamic (can be redefined)

Extensible (JBoss OSGi)

module.xml

JBoss Modular Service Container (MSC)

Small, lightweight and efficient

Highly concurrent scalable state machine

Dynamic Model Representation (DMR)

Central detyped management API

All management operations with/on DMR

Backwards compatible

Can be used to control standalone or

domain
Detypes (i.e. string based) API uses small
set of Java classes
Various transports (Java remoting,
JSON/HTTP)

Dynamic Model Representation (DMR)

Managing with cli

Text base user interface

Easy to use both for standalone and
domain mode

Scriptable.

Demo....

Managing with webconsole

Web console in AS7 is a best effort

It is now developed for most common
administration tasks
It will increase its functions in next
months

It's adding a lot of metrics
