Apache Tomcat is a popular Web server and Servlet Container developed as an open-source project by the Apache Software Foundation since 1999. Today it is one of the most widely used platform for running Web applications both in simple sites and in large networks.
Nevertheless, the amount of libraries available on Apache Tomcat are usually just enough for very simple architectures which require just the HTTP protocol and a limited number of services; this caused the natural tendency to increase its capabilities with new extensions or modules such as Spring, Hibernate, JDO or Struts.
Although the purpose of this book is not to cast in a bad light on these architectures, we do believe that a comparative knowledge of other solutions can help you to choose the best for your projects. The term of comparison in this book is JBoss application server that is now called “WildFly” since its 8th release; WildFly is a fully compliant Java Enterprise Edition 7 container with a much wider set of available services and options compared to Tomcat. In this book, we will teach you how to port your existing Tomcat architectures to WildFly, including both the server configuration and the applications running on the top of it. We will also give you exposure to the most common pitfalls and drawbacks, which might happen during the migration.
