Jakarta EE
The Jakarta EE platform offers developers the ability to write distributed, transactional and portable applications quickly and easily. We class applications that require these capabilities "enterprise applications". These applications must be fast, secure and reliable. Jakarta EE has always offered strong messaging (JMS), transactional (JTA) and resource (JCA) capabilities as well as exposing web services via SOAP (JAX-WS). |
JBoss WildFly depart from the familiar structure of previous JBoss AS versions, so we recommend all developers follow the steps in Getting Started with JBoss WildFly to install and start up the application server for the first time.

We recommend to start by working through the quickstarts in this guide, in the order they are presented.
