Management Console and Management CLI | New domain or standalone server management interfaces. XML configuration file editing is no longer required. The Management CLI also includes a batch mode that can script and automate management tasks. |
Simplified directory layout | The modules directory now contains all application server modules. The common and server-specific lib directories are deprecated. The domain and standalone directories contain the artifacts and configuration files for domain and standalone deployments respectively. |
Modular class loading mechanism | Modules are loaded and unloaded on demand. This improves performance, has security benefits and reduces start-up and restart times. |
Streamlined Data source management | Database drivers are deployed like other services. In addition, datasources are created and managed directly in the Management Console or Management CLI. |
Reduced and more efficient resource use | JBoss EAP 6 uses fewer system resources and uses them more efficiently than previous versions. Among other benefits, JBoss EAP 6 starts and stops faster than JBoss EAP 5. |
