JBoss Wildfly is a blazingly fast, lightweight, cluster-ready application server that you can run locally for development, in your company's data center for testing and/or production, or even in the cloud. And with ModeShape's kit for Wildfly, you can have Wildfly manage your repositories while making it trivially easy for your applications to use the JCR API.

A few of the benefits of running ModeShape within Wildfly are:

• The application server has a small footprint, starts in just a few seconds, has a lot of tooling, and is of course open source. Developing applications with it is a breeze.

• The module classloading system means that your applications only need to see those APIs that are necessary, and application and services can use different versions of the same libraries.

• Repositories are configured centrally within the Wildfly configuration, and make use of the existing configuration and management support.

• Add or remove repositories individually, without impacting the other repositories or their users

• Change some aspects of a repository configuration while it is running and being used

• A single repository can be used by multiple deployed applications and services

• A single deployed application or service can use multiple repositories

• Applications and services only see the JCR API and public ModeShape APIs
