Upgrade to WildFly 15

2.3.0.Final has been upgraded to WildFly 15. Many dependencies were updated to the newer versions, such as RestEasy 3.6.2, Hibernate 5.3.7, Weld 3.0.5 and Keycloak 4.8.1. Three new fractions were introduced: jaxrs-jsonb, jsonb and ee-security.

Update to Java EE 8

Thorntail 2.3.0.Final supports Java EE 8 as a result of the upgrade to WildFly 15.

JSON Binding (JSONB) API support according to JSR-367 is provided by new jaxrs-jsonb and jsonb fractions. These fractions can be used for JAX-RS and servlet endpoints respectively.

EE Security API support according to JSR-375 is provided by a new ee-security fraction. This fraction can be used for securing JAX-RS and servlet endpoints.

MicroProfile 2.1 Compliancy

Thorntail 2.3.0.Final is now MicroProfile 2.1 compliant after upgrading to the latest SmallRye artifacts.

Documentation improvements

Documentation has been further improved in 2.3.0.Final. A lot of content was mined and migrated from the legacy documentation.

Gradle improvements

Thorntail Gradle plugin is being continuously enhanced by Harsha Ramesh with it seeing more improvements in 2.3.0.Final.

Teiid and Camel fractions have been removed

WARNING: Breaking changes!

All Teiid and Camel fractions have been removed from Thorntail. It is expected that the Teiid and WildFly Camel projects will maintain and ship these fractions in the future.
