This Week in JBoss - 8 April 2021

Let’s start things off with congrats to the teams on their hard work!

Our very own Bela Ban has also recently finished off the work on JGroups 4.2.12 and JGroups 5.1.6. While there might not be an "official" annoucement on his blog, you can check Bela’s commit history for details.

Let’s take a look at what’s been happening in the community since our last editorial.

First up is a post by Hao Wu, How to Interact with Business Processes Using Camel Routes, that neatly explains using Apache Camel to interact with business processes deployed in a KIE server.

Rebecca Searls, over at the RESTEasy blog, recently added a post titled JAX-RS ParamConverter with Quarkus that shows how to write RESTful services with Quarkus using the JAX-RS ParamConverter.

Eric Schabell has, yet again, delivered some great posts recently that demonstrate how community technology can solve real world business problems.

Finishing off a series of articles on point of sale architectures, Eric delves in a specific example in his post, Point of sale - Example image distribution architecture. Be sure to check the links at the end of the post in case you missed any of the other articles in his architecture blueprint for point of sale imaging in retail.

Not one to rest, Eric kicks things off with another series to share an architectural blueprint for the use case of deploying a container-based eCommerce website while moving away from tightly coupled existing eCommerce platform.

This first article in this series is Headless eCommerce - An architectural introduction, which gives you an outline for the use case.

Eric then continues the series with his post, Headless eCommerce - Common architectural elements. In this article, Eric goes into detail on common generic elements that make up the architecture blueprint for the headless eCommerce use case.

Stay tuned for the rest of Eric’s series! I’m sure there’s lots more great information on the way.

James Falkner talks us through what’s new with the beta release of JBoss EAP 7.4 beta, including an detailed look at security and management improvement. What to find out what’s going on? Take a few minutes and read his post, Security and management improvements in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4 Beta.

Pasquale Congiusti also breaks down Camel K’s Kamelets and shows how they simplify complex system integration in his post, Design event-driven integrations with Kamelets and Camel K.

Get your popcorn ready and sit back to watch some videos from our community. Here are my top picks for this week’s editorial:
