    • Announcing WildFly Swarm 2016.10.0

    By The WildFly Swarm Team | Published Oct 3, 2016

    It’s October, so that means it’s time for candy corn. And a WildFly Swarm release!

    October, which comes from the Latin of "octo" meaning 8, is obviously the 10th month. We can thank Julius and Augustus Caesar (July and August, respectively) for giving us a persistent off-by-two error in how we count months.

    Nonetheless, it’s time for another WildFly Swarm release. Enjoy!

    What’s New?

    • External ActiveMQ/Artemis broker configuration is simplified.

    • Better SAAJ support.

    • Arquillian supporting Maven profiles.

    • Service/Topology advertisements via API and annotations.

    • Jolokia upgrade and support for jolokia-access.xml

    • Much much more!

    What is WildFly Swarm?

    WildFly Swarm is the decomposition and reconstitution of the popular WildFly Java Application Server in order to support just enough appserver for microservice type applications.

    Each portion of the appserver is referred to as a fraction, which many times maps to a subsystem from WildFly, but also may include other discrete chunks of non-Java EE or WIldFly functionality, such as Swagger, Jolokia or NetflixOSS Ribbon.

    Bugfixes

    There are quite a few bugs fixed in this release since 2016.9. Check out the full list of them below in the changelog.
