Fuse Management Console
Copy link

In JBoss Fuse 6.1, the implementation of the Fuse Management Console has changed and it is now based on the open source Hawt.io project. The new Fuse Management Console has a radically different look-and-feel from the old version, with greatly expanded functionality and many new features.
When you start up the JBoss Fuse container (for example, by running the command, bin/fuse), the new Fuse Management Console is installed by default. You can access it by navigating to the following URL in your browser: 
http://localhost:8181

For more details, see "Management Console User Guide".
Note
The ActiveMQ Web console has also been removed from the JBoss Fuse 6.1 product. Equivalent functionality for Apache ActiveMQ is now provided by the Fuse Management Console.

Fuse IDE
Copy link

The Fuse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is no longer provided as a standalone Eclipse executable. Fuse IDE has been renamed to Fuse Plugins for JBoss Developer Studio. To install Fuse Plugins, first download and install JBoss Developer Studio and then install the relevant Eclipse plug-ins. For detailed instructions, see "Installation Guide".
The ActiveMQ resource adapter has been certified to function correctly on the JBoss Enterprise Web Services container, the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform container, and on JBoss Fuse Service Works, enabling you integrate JMS applications running on those containers with JBoss A-MQ.

Apache Camel deployed on JBoss EWS and JBoss EAP
Copy link

The Apache Camel core library has been certified to function correctly on the JBoss Enterprise Web Services container and on the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform container.

Documentation reorganization
Copy link

Some titles in the JBoss Fuse documentation library have changed and some books have been consolidated, so that there are slightly fewer books than before. In particular, the following books are new:
Management Console User Guide
Covers the new Hawt.io based management console, replacing the old Using the Management Console book.
Fabric Guide
A reference for Fuse Fabric technology.
Apache Camel Development Guide
Consolidates the various Camel development guides (with the exception of the Apache Camel Component Reference) into a single book.
Apache CXF Development Guide
Consolidates the various CXF development guides into a single book.
JBI Development Guide
Consolidates all of the Java Business Integration (JBI) guides into a single book.

Apache ActiveMQ changes
Copy link

The changes resulting from the upgrade to version 5.9.0 are detailed in Chapter 2, Apache ActiveMQ Issues.
The most important changes are:
  • The ActiveMQ Web console is no longer supported.
  • If you are using a JDBC store with a broker that uses XA transactions, you will need to make some changes to the database schema, when migrating the database store.
  • Dynamic configuration updates are now supported on a standalone broker.
  • A generic JMS XA connection pool library is now available, which makes it possible to deploy third-party JMS providers.

Apache Camel changes
Copy link

The changes resulting from the upgrade to version 2.12.0 are detailed in Chapter 3, Apache Camel Issues.
The most important changes are:
  • Apache MINA components are deprecated (both MINA and MINA2).
  • In Spring Web Services, the deprecated built-in CommonsHttpMessageSender has been replaced by HttpUrlConnectionMessageSender. Your Camel applications might be affected, if they use either the timeout option or the sslContextParameters option of this component in a producer endpoint.
  • The camel-scala-29 module has been removed.
  • Spring version 3.0.x and 3.1.x are not supported in this release.

Apache Karaf Web console
Copy link

The Karaf Web console is no longer supported in JBoss Fuse 6.1. You can use the new Hawtio-based Fuse Management Console instead, which has the same functionality (and more) as the Karaf Web console.
