It is with great pleasure that I announce the immediate availability of JBoss AS7.
AS7 was built from the ground up with fresh focus on modularity, memory usage, performance, start-up time, easy of configuration, and management.
AS7.0 has been certified for Java EE 6 Web Profile. Full Java EE certification is planned for the 7.1 release.
Get it now!

|---|---|---|
| Distributed web sessions | √ | |
| mod_cluster support | √ | HA singleton instrumentation |
| Clustered JPA 2nd-level cache | √ | |
| Clustered SFSBs | √ | |
| Session EJB failover | √ | |
| HA Singleton | √ | |

I’m still working on the High-Availability Guide, so hold tight! In the meantime, you can direct any questions to the forums.
