What's the difference between jboss eap 6 and 7?


Asked by Elora Noble on Dec 06, 2021 FAQ



So JBoss EAP 6 is JavaEE 6. JBoss EAP 7 is JavaEE 7. Because EAP is the enterprise release, it will always be the most "mature", harden product and will include fixes that are not available in the community version. There are two versions: Jboss AS (Application Server) and JBoss EAP (Enterprise Application Platform).
Furthermore,
There are two versions: Jboss AS (Application Server) and JBoss EAP (Enterprise Application Platform). JBoss AS is a community version. Personnaly, I never used EAP but I never used JBoss in a production context.. it seams that EAP is designed to be more stable.
In fact, For JBoss 7.2 version, they released it as JBoss EAP 6.1 Alpha, so that is the updated community version. Alpha is free to use in any way or form. They have also released JBoss EAP 6.1 (the commercial version), for which you need a subscription for.
Also Know,
If you mean JBoss AS6 vs. AS7 there is a big difference. AS6 is a follower of AS5 but not longer developed. AS7 (now known as WildFly) is (mostly) a complete re-written server. It will be faster and easier to configure.
Besides,
Every Red Hat JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) release is tested and supported on a variety of market-leading operating systems, Java™ Virtual Machines (JVMs), and database combinations.
