Have you ever tried to expose a JAX-WS web service via https in JBoss FUSE? Well I tried to do that recently and ran into issues. I hope this post may help you on that task.

Interactive SVG with AngularJS – Part 2
When developing mobile web applications with responsive design, SVG are a viable solution for flexible images.
AngularJS in turn enables the wrapping of complex UI logic into custom HTML directives, resulting in clean and maintainable modules.
The combination of these technologies provides a good basis for interactive control and status elements. It is suitable both for building highly complex custom controls, as well as covering simple use cases in a generic manner.
Part 1 of this article explores several methods of employing SVG as flexible images in a cross-browser compatible manner.
Part 2 describes the use of AngularJS to construct custom control and status elements by manipulating SVG images.

Interactive SVG with AngularJS – Part 1
When developing mobile web applications with responsive design, flexible images for interactive control and status elements pose a particular problem.
SVG offer a viable solution: They are much smaller than bitmaps of comparable size, and can be manipulated through their DOM API.
AngularJS in turn is well suited to wrap complex UI element logic in custom HTML directives, resulting in clean and maintainable modules.
Combining the two sounds attractive, but involves a couple of stumbling blocks to avoid.
Part 1 of this article explores several methods of employing SVG as flexible images in a cross-browser compatible manner.
Part 2 describes the use of AngularJS to construct custom control and status elements by manipulating SVG images.
JGroups & Cloud issues when clustering the EAP 6 – AS 7
As announced this is the last post of our series about clustering of the Redhat EAP 6 and JBoss AS 7. The other posts of this series were
- Clustering in JBoss AS7/EAP 6
- Managing cluster nodes in domain mode of JBoss AS 7 / EAP 6
- Scalable HA Clustering with JBoss AS 7 / EAP 6
- Load-balancing and failover of remote EJB clients in EAP6 and JBoss AS7
- Clustering of the messaging subsystem HornetQ in JBoss AS7 and EAP 6
Overview
This post will dig deeper into the clustering mechanisms of the EAP 6 and JBoss AS 7. We will show different solutions to multicast problems you will get in most cloud networks as well as some other networks. Infinispan uses JGroups to do its cluster communication. Cluster communication here means multiple things: finding other cluster nodes, providing a reliable transfer, implementing multicast communication even if there is no IP multicast available, identifying dead cluster nodes and a little bit more. In fact JGroups is able to do a lot more but Infinispan does not need all of the opportunities JGroups offers. The upcoming HornetQ version 2.3 which will be included in the EAP 6.1 will use JGroups for server discovery too. This post will explain the basic principles of JGroups and how to configure it in different network setups, especially most cloud networks.
Load-balancing and failover of remote EJB clients in EAP6 and JBoss AS7
In the recent posts of this series about the clustering capabilities of the JBoss EAP6 and the AS7, we covered the basic concepts, managing cluster nodes in domain mode and scalable HA cluster topologies. This post will be about clustering capabilities for remote EJB clients. We will explain how to cluster EJB components and invoke them from a standalone remote client with client-side failover and load balancing.
JBoss EAP 6.0.0 Hits the Servers
After more than two years of development and one year after the release of the first community version, yesterday the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.0.0 (EAP6) was published at the Red Hat customer portal. It is built around the new blazingly fast und thoroughly modular JBoss application server 7. It supports the full Java EE 6 profile and it is the first EAP version that provides a downloadable Maven repository. By adding it to your enterprise repository you can enjoy the same benefits for the development as with the community version.
The EAP 6.0.0 is built from the 7.1.2 development branch of the JBoss application server. The development of the community version switched to the 7.2.0 branch. Thus, the EAP will be continuously hardened for enterprise production environments whereas the community version will stay the focus for innovation.
The EAP 6.0.0 is available with a subscription from Red Hat. The subscription includes enterprise-class support SLAs, guaranteed patches, updates, hot-fixes, and legal assurance.
You can download a 30-days evaluation version of the EAP 6.0.0 from the Red Hat customer portal.
Enjoy!
Maven Sites – Reloaded
In recent times, Maven Sites came close to becoming extinct. Maven Plugins were still using them for the wonderful automatic documentation page (named goals), but regular projects were not using them anymore.
However, Maven Sites have some huge benefits such as keeping the documentation close to the code, and automatically providing reports, information and API docs (Javadoc). Being able to release the documentation at the same time as the code was also a great advantage.
So why was this feature not used? Several reasons:
- The look and feel was terrible.
- The apt syntax was terrible.
- The customization was terrible.
Now, though, it’s possible to create much better Maven Sites using Twitter Bootstrap for the skinning and Markdown for the editing. Even better, if you use GitHub, your site can be automatically updated on your project’s GitHub page.
This blog post explains how to use all these new features.

JBoss Enterprise Maven Repository available with the Enterprise Application Platform 6 Beta!
Since March 15th of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) is available in the Version 6 Beta. The EAP is based on the Java EE 6 certified JBoss AS 7.1 community release, which impresses not only by the fast start-up time and low memory consumption but also by its new clean architecture.
At the moment, the EAP 6 Beta is pretty close to the community version. It includes a few critical bug fixes and some brandings. The differences will be larger with the on going quality assurance and maintenance phase.
Brave new world – Migrating a Java EE Application from JBoss AS 6 to JBoss AS 7
We are migrating an existing Java EE Application from JBoss AS 6 to JBoss AS 7. This blog post introduces our experience we have gained during the migration of the application to the new JBoss AS 7.
Overview of the application
The application is a Java EE application based on EJB, JPA and it contains a web application built with JSF. Furthermore, the application contains a web service to interact with a third-party system and some MBean’s for administration and configuration.
