Chapter 1. JBoss EAP XP for the latest MicroProfile capabilities 1.1. About JBoss EAP XP The MicroProfile Expansion Pack (JBoss EAP XP) is available as a patch stream, which is provided using JBoss EAP XP manager. Note JBoss EAP XP is subject to a separate support and life cycle policy. For more details, see the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform expansion pack Support and Life Cycle Policies page. The JBoss EAP XP patch provides the following MicroProfile 4.0 components: MicroProfile Config MicroProfile Fault Tolerance MicroProfile Health MicroProfile JWT MicroProfile Metrics MicroProfile OpenAPI MicroProfile OpenTracing MicroProfile REST Client MicroProfile Reactive Messaging Note The MicroProfile Reactive Messaging subsystem supports Red Hat AMQ Streams. This feature implements the MicroProfile Reactive Messaging 1.0 API and Red Hat provides the feature as a technology preview for JBoss EAP XP 3.0.0. Red Hat tested Red Hat AMQ Streams 2021.Q2 on JBoss EAP. However, check the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform supported configurations page for information about the latest Red Hat AMQ Streams version that has been tested on JBoss EAP XP 3.0.0. 1.2. JBoss EAP XP installation When you install JBoss EAP XP, make sure that the JBoss EAP XP patch is compatible with your version of JBoss EAP. The JBoss EAP XP 3.0.x patch is compatible with the JBoss EAP 7.4 release. Note You can install JBoss EAP XP either through the XP manager and EAP archive or using the JBoss EAP XP OpenShift Container images. You cannot install JBoss EAP XP on top of EAP RPMs. Additional Resources For more information about installing the latest JBoss EAP XP patch on the latest JBoss EAP release, see Installing JBoss EAP XP 3.0.0 on JBoss EAP 7.4.x . 1.3. JBoss EAP XP manager JBoss EAP XP manager is an executable jar file that you can download from the Product Downloads page. Use JBoss EAP XP manager to apply the JBoss EAP XP patches from the JBoss EAP XP patch stream. The patches contain the MicroProfile 4.0 implementations and the bug fixes for these MicroProfile 4.0 implementations. Note You can not manage the JBoss EAP XP patches using the management console. If you run JBoss EAP XP manager without any arguments, or with the help command, you get a list of all the available commands with a description of what they do. Run the manager with the help command to get more information about the arguments available. Note Most of the JBoss EAP XP manager commands take a --jboss-home argument to point to the JBoss EAP XP server to manage the JBoss EAP XP patch stream. Specify the path to the server in the JBOSS_HOME environment variable if you want to omit this. --jboss-home takes precedence over the environment variable. 1.4. JBoss EAP XP manager 3.0 commands JBoss EAP XP manager 3.0 provides different commands for managing JBoss EAP XP patch streams and applying JBoss EAP 7.4.x base patches. The following commands are provided: patch-apply Use this command to apply patches to your JBoss EAP installation. The patch-apply command is similar to the patch apply management CLI command. The patch-apply command accepts only those arguments that are required for applying patches using the tool. It uses the default values for other patch apply management CLI command arguments. You can use the patch-apply command to apply patches to any patch stream that is enabled on the server. You can also use the command to apply both the base server patches as well as the XP patches. Example of using the patch-apply command: When you apply an XP patch, JBoss EAP XP manager 3.0 performs validation to prevent patch and patch stream mismatch. The following example illustrates incorrect combinations: Trying to install JBoss EAP XP 2.0 patch on a server with XP 3.0 patch stream set up causes the following error: Trying to install JBoss EAP XP 3.0 patch on a server that is not set up for JBoss EAP XP 3.0 patch stream causes the following error: In both the cases, no changes are made to the server. remove Use this command to remove the JBoss EAP XP patch stream setup from the JBoss EAP server. Example of using the remove command setup Use this command to set up a clean JBoss EAP server for the JBoss EAP XP patch stream. When you use the setup command, JBoss EAP XP manager performs the following actions: Enables the JBoss EAP XP 3.0 patch stream. Applies patches specified using --base-patch and --xp-patch attributes. Copies the standalone-microprofile.xml and standalone-microprofile-ha.xml configuration files into the server configuration directory. If older configuration files are already installed, the new files are saved as timestamped copies in the target configuration directory, such as standalone-microprofile-yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.xml . You can set the target directory using the --jboss-config-directory argument. Example of using the setup command status Use this command to find the current status of your JBoss EAP XP server. The status command returns the following information: The status of the JBoss EAP XP stream. Any support policy changes due to being in the current state. The major version of JBoss EAP XP. Enabled patch streams and their cumulative patch IDs. The available JBoss EAP XP manager commands to change the state. Example of using the status command upgrade Use this command to upgrade an old JBoss EAP XP patch stream to the latest patch stream in the JBoss EAP server. When you use the upgrade command, JBoss EAP XP manager performs the following actions: Creates a backup of the files enabling the old patch stream in the server. Enables the JBoss EAP XP 3.0 patch stream. Applies patches specified using --base-patch and --xp-patch attributes. Copies the standalone-microprofile.xml and standalone-microprofile-ha.xml configuration files into the server configuration directory. If older configuration files are already installed, the new files are saved as timestamped copies in the target configuration directory, such as standalone-microprofile-yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.xml . If something goes wrong, JBoss EAP XP manager attempts to restore the patch stream from the backup it created. You can set the target directory using the --jboss-config-directory argument Example of using the upgrade command: 1.5.
