Re: [windup-dev] JBoss Web Framework Kit -- Good Migration Option

We try the best in the deadline we had in the latest WFK release, but we could be definitely better (that was/is my motivation to join WindUp team) We could be pushing it when we see versions of Seam, Struts, Spring that aren't otherwise in JBoss EAP 6.x but that is their target. First from your list only Seam should be matter of our focus. Spring was not delivered and supported in any way like a product until you didn't use Snowdrop, but that was not really required for Spring 3/4 applications, and Spring as such is still certified/supported in EAP 6 testing. I believe Struts wasn't anything more than we gave advises and tested minimal examples on our platforms. In your referenced URL https://access.redhat.com/articles/1125, please read the explanation what Tier 4 is ;) In other words, if the customer doesn't want to rewrite things but just wants support on the newest server, it might be an option. I don't think it should be the safe way for customer, because that opens a pandora's box. It is always better to stay with out-of-date technology in the application if they don't want to migrate that outdated tech. We everywhere recommends to migrate from Seam to CDI and Deltaspike and for Spring only versions 3 and 4 are certified for now. Struts are out of scope as it was a long time ago you should move to JSF from it. We are exploring this with one of our customers currently, and I think it is a good options in some scenarios. +1 for some very specific scenarios yes, but for majority application not. Take for instance jbpm 3 case used in Seam 2, that is definitely not good way to take such existing application and try to deploy to EAP6. -- Marek Novotny -- Windup team member and Seam Project Lead Red Hat Czech s.r.o.
