Summary

In this chapter, we ran our first mile on the track to application server development. We introduced the new features of the application server and had an overview of the Java Platform Enterprise Edition in Version 7, also known as Java EE 7.

Next, we discussed the installation of the WildFly AS and all the core components that include JDK and a set of development tools, such as Eclipse and Maven, which will be your companions on this journey.

In the next chapter, we will summarize all the application server features with a special focus on the components and commands needed to deliver an application, which is the main aim of this book.
