Discussion of MP compatibility guarantees in WildFly docs
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: WFLY-12379
URL:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-12379
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Task
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Brian Stansberry
Priority: Major
The MP specifications innovate more rapidly than EE historically has and the MP community
is more willing to accept incompatible changes than EE historically has been. The result
is the MP features the WF provides may change in incompatible ways between releases more
frequently than typical WF features do. We should have some discussion of this in our
documentation.
* The Admin Guide sections on the various MP subsystems should have some mention of this
fact, focused on how output formats may change (if relevant for a spec) or how management
API may change if a spec change forces an integration change that in turn requires an
incompatible management API change (not expected but possible.)
* The Developer Guide should have a brief Microprofile section that highlights this fact,
but focused on user API and output formats. There can be subsections for the specs we
support (where we have useful content) that can provide brief further details; e.g. links
to things like the MP Metrics spec changelog.
