Powerful
Configuration in WildFly is centralized, simple and user-focused. The configuration file is organized by subsystems that you can easily comprehend and no internal server wiring is exposed. All management capabilities are exposed in a unified manner across many forms of access. These include a CLI, a web based administration console, a native Java API, an HTTP/JSON based REST API, and a JMX gateway. These options allow for custom automation using the tools and languages that best fit your needs.
Modular
WildFly does classloading right. It uses JBoss Modules to provide true application isolation, hiding server implementation classes from the application and only linking with JARs your application needs. Visibility rules have sensible defaults, yet can be customized. The dependency resolution algorithm means that classloading performance is not affected by the number of versions of libraries you have installed.
Lightweight
WildFly takes an aggressive approach to memory management. The base runtime services were developed to minimize heap allocation by using common cached indexed metadata over duplicate full parses, which reduces heap and object churn. The administration console is 100% stateless and purely client driven. It starts instantly and requires zero memory on the server. These optimizations combined enable WildFly to run with stock JVM settings and also on small devices while leaving more headroom for application data and supports higher scalability.
Standards Based
WildFly implements the latest in enterprise Java standards from Jakarta EE and Eclipse MicroProfile. These improve developer productivity by providing rich enterprise capabilities in easy to consume frameworks that eliminate boilerplate and reduce technical burden. This allows your team to focus on the core business needs of your application. By building your application on standards you retain the flexibility to migrate between various vendor solutions.

Read More >In this blog post I’d like to show how you can use the management console (aka HAL) for WildFly instances running on OpenShift. Prerequisites The console is an integral part of WildFly and is activated by default when running on-premise. For instances running on OpenShift, the console is not available by default, though. To use the console on OpenShift, you need a WildFly image that meets the following requirements: Management user: The management console is...

Read More >Recently I needed to configure a WildFly server to use a PostgreSQL datasource for some testings, and I’d like to use the`wildfly-maven-plugin` to automate the server provision process, so I invested some time into the topic and finally made it work. To sum up what I have learned, I have put the usage example in this PR: jberet-examples / add postgresql based repository example #8 From the above pull request, we can see that the...
