JBoss AS7 has today been released just over 6 months after the first Alpha release was made in November last year. AS7 provides a fully Java EE 6 Web Profile certified application server.
AS7 sports a vastly decreased boot time with RedHat stating a 10-fold reduction in startup time over previous versions, bringing AS7 in line with Tomcat startup times.
In addition to performance increases provides with AS7, user management has also been carefully considered whilst developing the update.
"Consistent and powerful management is available out of the box, including a polished, user-friendly web console, Java and HTTP APIs and a command line tool (CLI). The web console provides a clear perspective into the server runtime, while the programmatic APIs can be leveraged by tools, scripts and geeks."
