Requirements

Hard Requirements

  • The Quickstarts to deliver with EAP 8 Beta should:

    • Cover EAP 8 Beta main functional areas, such as Web apps, Web Services/REST, Database/JPA, Messaging and EJBs.

    • Be compatible with OpenShift.

  • The following EAP 8 Cloud/Provisioning/Testing enhancements should be delivered by at least one of the EAP 8 Beta Quickstarts

    • Provisioning

      • The WildFly Maven Plugin is now capable of provisioning a server with specific features (through Galleon layers), configure it using CLI scripts, and package it with an application deployed. Each EAP 8 Beta Quickstart should demonstrate how to use this new WildFly Maven Plugin functionality to provision a server with the needed Galleon layers, configure it using a CLI script if required, and package it with Quickstart’s application deployed.

    • Cloud

      • Helm charts may be used to build and deploy an application on OpenShift, with improved user experience compared with the previous S2i usage. Each EAP 8 Beta Quickstart should demonstrate how to use Helm Charts to build and deploy the Quickstart’s application on OpenShift.

    • Testing

      • The Quickstarts should demonstrate how users may test their applications with JBoss EAP 8, on baremetal and OpenShift environments. Regarding the JBoss EAP 8 Beta release the delivered Quickstarts should include integration tests, abstract from the environment where the server is running, and take advantage of Arquillian and the other Quickstarts enhancements to run such tests.

        • On baremetal the WildFly Maven Plugin should be used to locally provision the server with the application deployed, and use the Arquillan managed container to run the tests.

        • On OpenShift the Helm Charts should be used to build and deploy the server with the application, and use Arquillian remote container to run the tests.
