JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Component Details

As part of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform release process, a number of open source projects have been integrated together to form a stable Java EE application platform. These open source projects are sourced from various open source communities, such as the Jboss.org Community, Apache Software Foundation and numerous others. Some components may have been added or removed for dependency or compatibility purposes, while other components may be included as Technology Previews.

Technology Preview Components


Some features in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2 are provided as Technology Preview. This means that while these components have been included in Application Platform, they are not considered functionally complete and are not suitable for production use. This means that while they are supported in development (according to your corresponding subscription agreement), they are not recommended or supported for production use.

These components are included as a customer convenience and to provide the components' features with wider exposure. Customers are encouraged to provide feedback and suggestions for a technology preview feature before it becomes fully supported. It is the intention of Red Hat to fully support technology preview features in a future release.


Component Comments
JBoss Web Services (JBossWS) - JAX-WS The JAX-WS funtionality within JBossWS is not feature complete and is therefore not ready for production use. We expect to provide an updated JBossWS component with full JAX-WS support in the JBoss Application Platform 4.3 and 5.0 releases.
