Version 6

    http://www.jboss.com/images/common/jbosscorp_logo.png

     

    JBoss AS 6.0.0.M3 is the third milestone release of the community driven AS 6 series. Building on the AS 6.0.0.M1 Release Notes and AS 6.0.0.M2 Release Notes milestone release, it includes support for additional key technologies that are part of the EE6 specification. Further capabilities will be added in future milestones. The release is available for download from the download page.

     

    Two major EJB 3.1 features included in this release are:

     

    • EJB3.1 Singleton Beans in AS 6.0.0 M3 - A more advanced "stateless" bean that allows greater control over concurrency semantics.
    • Container managed concurrency - A set of annotations that allow you to control the locking semantics of your bean. As an example you can implement a common read/write locking model by annotating methods as read or write.

     

    Other major additions include:

     

    • HornetQ - A new high performance messaging implementation. This replaces the JBoss Messaging JMS & MDB implementation.
    • Remoting 3 - A high performance remote invocation framework. The next milestone will switch to this as the default invocation framework for remote EJB connectivity.
    • VFS3 User Guide - A new more efficient implementation of our internal file abstraction layer.
    • OOTB JConsole (JSR-160) Support - You can now use jconsole (and other jsr-160 tools) out of the box, without special properties, to manage AS JMX services.
    • JBoss Embedded AS | Quickstart and Runnable Example - The embedded project is now part of the distribution.
    • JBoss OSGi - The JBoss OSGI project is now included as part of a special "osgi" profile.
    • Many bug fixes and small enhancements as listed in the full notes below.

     

    A Note on Release Naming

     

    The shorthand name for this release is 6.0.0.M3; this is what you'll see in many locations primarily meant to be read by humans (e.g. the download pages.) However, the official name for the release is 6.0.0.20100429-M3, a name which follows the JBoss project versioning conventions for projects that issue milestone releases. The inclusion of the date of the release in the release qualifier helps ensure proper release ordering as specified by the OSGi specification. The official name appears in distributions zips, jar manifests, Maven pom files, and in Maven repository URLs.
