We are in the process of modernizing the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.1 documentation. We are working to create more solution-centric documentation.

The JBoss EAP 8.1 documentation contains content specific to the JBoss EAP 8.1 release including new and enhanced features found in JBoss EAP 8.1. Functionality from previous releases that are still supported in JBoss EAP 8.1 can be accessed in the JBoss EAP 7.4 documentation set. You can access the documentation set at Product Documentation for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4.

The following is a suggested approach for using the JBoss EAP 8.1 documentation:

  1. Read the JBoss EAP 8.1 Release notes to learn about new, enhanced, unsupported, and removed features.
  2. Read the other JBoss EAP 8.1 documentation set for detailed information about new and enhanced features.
  3. Read the JBoss EAP 8.1 Migration Guide for details on how to migrate applications to JBoss EAP 8.1.
  4. If you need information on features supported from previous releases that have not been enhanced in JBoss EAP 8.1, see the JBoss EAP 7.4 documentation set at Product Documentation for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4. For example, development and configuration guides are available in the JBoss EAP 7.4 documentation set.
