[JBoss] How to migrate applications based on IBM Websphere/Oracle Weblogic to JBoss EAP/Wildfly ?

Dear *,

Red Hat | JBoss has recently launched an initiative named “JBoss Migration Center” to help easily enterprise to migrate their IBM Websphere or Oracle Weblogic to JBoss EAP/Wildfly.

For example, you will find a great tool which help you during the Discovery phase of your migration.

Windup is a tool to simplify Java application migrations. Running from the command line, the tool analyzes artifacts from Java applications and produces an HTML report highlighting areas that require changes. The analyzer is driven by customizable and extendable rules to provide information to assist the developer in migrating applications. It’s initial focus is Java EE applications but the Windup design and rule organization is general enough to allow Windup to be used for practically any kind of migration.

You can find more information at the following URL :http://www.jboss.org/migration/

If your company or you are based in BeNeLux and are interested by IBM Webphere/Oracle Weblogic to JBoss Migration, just let me know and I will arrange a meeting for you.

N.B. :
Wildfly is the premise application server on which will be base of the next release of JBoss EAP.
Wildfly != the next release of JBoss EAP.

[ JBPM 5.2.@ ] web management console crashed but there is a solution – Business Process Management

Dear *,

Recently, I tried the JBPM 5.2.0 – JBoss Business Process Management – web management console and I had an application crash when I selected in the left menu the item “Process overview”.

Fortunately there is a solution to that problem which is to add the following line in the part of the build.xml file included in jbpm-installer_5.2.0 directory :

<!– Install reporting AS7 –>
<target name=”install.reporting.into.jboss7″ depends=”check.birt.as7″ if=”birt.download” >
<mkdir dir=”${install.home}/birt”/>
<unzip src=”${install.home}/lib/birt-runtime-${birt.version.as7}.zip”
dest=”${install.home}/birt”/>
<copy todir=”${install.home}/target/jbpm-gwt-console-server-war/WEB-INF/lib”>
<fileset dir=”${install.home}/birt/birt-runtime-${birt.version.as7}/ReportEngine/lib”>
<include name=”*/.jar”/>
<exclude name=”**/org.apache.commons.codec_1.3.0.v201101211617.jar”/>

[JBoss Data Grid] When Database is very expensive.

Dear *,

Picture 1:

Imagine you have developed a successful web application built on traditional architecture which is visited by a consequent amount of users.

However, you are victim of you success, and more and more users are connected to you site.

Now, you are confronted to the overload of your application and your users tend to be unhappy due to the bad response time of your application.

Picture 2 :

So, in  order to fix this you decided to change your application a little bit and then add some cache to it.

During a certain period of time, that clever trick worked. But, you still had the same problem.

Picture 3 :

Well, you had then the idea to increase the number of Application Servers to resolve that problem.

Nonetheless, with that decision you had to complexity your application.  Nevermind, you had to increase the performance otherwise you were going to lose your customers.

Picture 4:

But the problem still remained and you are now convinced the bottleneck is related to you old heavy database.

So you have no other choice than buy another database licence and its annual maintenance fees.

The MAJOR problem here is that is very very expensive.

Picture 5 :

Anyway, you decide adding more databases is not your only option.
You finally decide to implement a data grid in your environment in order to fix that problem without exploding your allocated budget.

If you are interesting by the subject  then I am going to do a presentation/introduction about “JBoss Data Grid” in Belgium in April 2012.
If your company or you are based in BeNeLux and are interested by this presentation, just let me know and I will try to arrange a meeting for you.

N.B.: JBoss Data Grid 6 beta provides:

• A schema-less key value store: Red Hat JBoss Data Grid 6 beta is a NoSQL data store that provides flexibility to store any type of data.
• Compatibility with many types of applications: JBoss Data Grid 6 beta works with applications written in Java, C#, Spring, and others; deployed in an application server or standalone.
• Reliable grid-based data storage: Red Hat JBoss Data Grid 6 beta is designed to easily distribute data across multiple nodes. Data can be replicated in memory, written to disk, or stored in a relational database for fault-tolerance.
• Elastic scaling: JBoss Data Grid 6 beta allows simple addition and removal of storage nodes without disruption.
• Multiple access protocols: Red Hat JBoss Data Grid 6 beta provides easy access to the data grid using REST, memcached, Hot Rod, or simple map-like API.
