Brian Stansberry created WFLY-13780:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Initial transformation-based tech preview EE 9 variant of WildFly
Key: WFLY-13780
URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-13780
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Build System, EE, Server
Reporter: Brian Stansberry
Assignee: Brian Stansberry
Produce an initial EE 9 variant of WildFly as described in
https://wildfly.org/news/2020/06/23/WildFly-and-Jakarta-EE-9/ and
https://lists.jboss.org/archives/list/wildfly-dev@lists.jboss.org/thread/...
This would be intended to be a milestone type release, not expected to pass the EE 9 TCK
and likely not passing significant parts of the WildFly testsuite. The basic goal is to
provide something to the community to look at and to surface technical issues.
Many dependencies used by this initial version may not be Final releases of the respective
components.
Basic goals:
1) Produce an EE 9 variant of the wildfly-ee feature pack.
2) Galleon tooling to produce that feature pack and to provision a server from it that, at
provisioning time, transforms any EE 8 (javax.* namespace) artifacts to EE 9 (jakarta.*).
3) Produce a fat server dist from that feature pack.
4) Server should be able to transform EE 8 managed deployments to EE 9 when the management
layer accepts the deployment content.
Nice-to-have goals:
1) A variant of the full 'wildfly' feature pack (which brings various MP specs)
that depends on the EE 9 wildfly-ee one.
2) Dist based on that.
Non-goals:
1) Thin server distributions.
2) Support for supplemental things like legacy Hibernate versions or JSF integrations
beyond the default mojarra.
3) Domain mode support for legacy AS 7 extensions that were replaced in WildFly 8.
4) Support for the legacy security subsystem, picketlink extensions, or agroal.
Other technical points:
The default messaging configuration likely will not be for an embedded broker.
