Introduction to the Solution

JBoss Application Server implements the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE). JBoss 7 fully supports Java EE 6, while JBoss 6 officially supports only the Java EE 6 Web Profile.

By configuring JBoss to support EclipseLink, you can take advantage of EclipseLink's full support for Java Persistence API (JPA), Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB), including EclipseLink's extensions to those technologies, as well as EclipseLink Database Web Services (DBWS) to access to relational database artifacts via a Web service.
