WildFly support in Domibus will be phased out by Q2 2027. After Domibus 5.2, the supported application servers will be Apache Tomcat and WebLogic.
Comparison of the two, highlighting elements that are more relevant for a Domibus installation:
| Element | WebLogic | Apache Tomcat |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Requires a production licence | Free |
| Support | Commercial support from the vendor | Commercial support from third parties |
| Features | Advanced features (for example, assisted cluster-wide deployment & configuration) | Limited set of features |
| Administration & configuration | More complex, requires specific expertise | Simpler |
| JMS broker | Domibus can use WebLogic's embedded JMS broker | Clustered deployments require external JMS broker (ActiveMQ) |
| Framework support | May delay support for new frameworks (for example, Jakarta EE 10 available in Tomcat, but late 2025 in WebLogic) | Faster adoption of new frameworks |
| Monitoring | Better monitoring | Lacks some advanced management and monitoring tools available in WebLogic |
We advise you to choose Apache Tomcat or WebLogic depending on your circumstances and requirements.
