JBoss 6.1 or JBoss 5.1 for Production?
paul.robinson Feb 25, 2011 7:24 AMHello,
We need to know which version of JBoss AS, to use for a production system. My first instincts would be to go for JBoss AS 6.1 as it will be the latest final release and I would assume will receive the best level of support via the forums. However, from looking at the Maven repository, we can see that the 6.0.0 release contains 25 Alpha or Beta releases (JBoss AS 5.1 has only 2 beta releases and 5.0.1 has none).
Will the majority of these Alphas and Betas become GA releases in JBoss AS 6.1? If not, would we be better off using JBoss AS 5.1?
Bellow is the list of Alpha and Beta releases for JBoss AS 6.0.0, 5.1 and 5.0.1
Many Thanks,
Paul.
