Red Hat reveals its JBoss road map


By David Worthington
February 13, 2009 —  In the year ahead, Red Hat will expand its JBoss platform to offer a full complement of middleware in order to provide a reference architecture for service-oriented architecture.

"The JBoss Application Server is our core foundational technology, but we believe that it is more than an application platform," said Red Hat's vice president of middleware Craig Muzilla earlier this month. The company's goal is to round out its line of middleware products so that that a developer can use it to compose services, he added.

"The [middleware] components integrate together so that developers will know that they are using the same technology for their use cases and situations," said Muzilla. Those components includes a business rules engine, the JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform, the JBoss SOA Platform, the MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform, and the JBoss Developer Studio tooling environment.

"We are starting to round out our portfolio," said Muzilla, noting that there are currently 44 projects on JBoss.org, comprising incubations, products and parts of products.

In the coming year, customers will see the advent of JBoss Application Server 5, Muzilla said. While its source is already available in the community, Red Hat does not yet offer supported profiles or modularly designed versions.

Application Server 5 was architected for "an attribute-driven world" where interoperability among components is important, Muzilla said. The server was created with a microcontainer that can take on different shape and forms, he explained. It supports other microcontainers, including Java Management Extensions, Open Services Gateway initiative, and Plain Old Java Objects.

Red Hat has also endeavored to make JBoss more modular, with the option for developers to deliver more configurations. What's more, it will support a range of APIs and frameworks, including AJAX, Adobe Flex, Hibernate, REST, Seam, Spring, Struts and Google Web Toolkit.

Over the next 12 months, Red Hat will deliver advancements to its SOA platform and Enterprise Service Bus; a full-fledged Business Rules Management System; and an expansion to its Java portal engine, Muzilla said.
