Announcing WildFly Swarm 2017.1.1

Announcing the first release of 2017

To celebrate National Braille Literacy Month, we’re happy to announce version 2017.1.1 of WildFly Swarm!

WildFly Swarm

What’s New?

  • @Service and ServiceClient package change

  • Lots of bugfixes

  • Start of a HOWTO

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, or Jolokia.

@Service and ServiceClient package change

As part of some code restructuring of the JAX-RS enhanced client API, the packages that @Service and ServiceClient are within changed.

Both classes moved from org.wildfly.swarm.cdi.jaxrsapi to org.wildfly.swarm.client.jaxrs.

Be sure to update your application code with the change!
