Issue
We are using JBoss 7.1.1 and we basically dont pay anything to the Red Hat.
My first question is, since we are not paying for any support, this would be considers as JBoss community edition?
My next question is whats the current status of the JBoss support, is the community edition still considered as supported and where can I find this info? I' m reading this notes, but I cant conclude anything from it?
Solution
- JBoss 7.1.1 AS isn't supported by RedHat (AS products have now been renamed to Wildfly, which is basically the free version of JBoss). Yes you could say that it is the "community edition" of JBoss.
- EAP products such as JBoss 7 EAP are supported, but they are commerical and you have to pay a subscription fee for their usage and support. Redhat typically backports bugfixes, etc. from its commercial versions to AS products, but this isn't guranteed and there is no fixed support cycle or maintenance phases in the case of the latter.
