Chapter 1. Get Started Developing Applications

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (JBoss EAP 6) is a middleware platform built on open standards and compliant with the Java Enterprise Edition 6 specification. It integrates JBoss Application Server 7 with high-availability clustering, messaging, distributed caching, and other technologies.

JBoss EAP 6 includes a new, modular structure that allows service enabling only when required, improving start-up speed.

The Management Console and Management Command Line Interface make editing XML configuration files unnecessary and add the ability to script and automate tasks.

In addition, JBoss EAP 6 includes APIs and development frameworks for quickly developing secure and scalable Java EE applications.
