Red Hat JBoss Middleware is faster than an 855 foot Sky Jump

I would like to introduce you to our new Red Hat JBoss Rock Star.

His name is Radical Rich and he will stop short of nothing to bring the message home to you how awesome and fast the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) is.

Without further delay, we bring you Radical Rich!

Red Hat JBoss EAP is faster than an 855 foot Sky Jump.

The future of JBoss SOA Platform, Switchyard training

Last week I was in the area for the Gartner BPM Summit 2013 so I thought I would drop in on Keith Babo and the SwitchYard training being held in Washington, DC.

Keith is a rock star at leading the SwitchYard efforts, but he is now a confirmed educator. He put together a very hands on and incredibly informative two days of workshop style training on his project. This project will become the backbone of the upcoming JBoss SOA Platform v6 so it was fantastic to get hands on with the experts.

Below a short impression, but I would suggest you get your hands on this technology as soon as you can, it is really amazing stuff!

Video: SwitchYard Order Demo with JBoss EAP 6 on OpenShift

OpenShift with JBoss EAP 6 magic!

This video will show you how to setup an OpenShift instance (a.k.a. Gear) based on JBoss EAP6, add a SwitchYard cartridge, pull in my pre-configured OrderService demo project and deploy it all in about 6 minutes. It is based on the SwitchYard quick-start demo called Orders and can be found in the projects released code base.

I also discuss why you can't see your exposed services on the 18001 port due to OpenShift security blocking these ports. It is possible using the INTERNAL_IP to access these services from your running applications, such as this demo does. I also show you how to import the project into JBoss Developer Studio and setup the OpenShift server.

I hope this helps you get started with your very own SwitchYard ESB services. :)
