Fabric3
Getting Started
The best way to learn Fabric3 is to download and install the samples. The samples build will download and assemble a set of fully functional Fabric3 servers. If you intend to use Fabric3 with Spring, we recommend starting with the Spring samples.
For instructions on installing and running the samples, see the Getting Started Guide.
Distributions
Fabric3 can be deployed as a standalone server, hosted on Tomcat, or hosted on WebLogic Server. Fabric3 also ships a Maven plugin and embedded Ant runtime for automated integration tests.
Fabric3 is a highly modular runtime. Distributions contain only the core capabilities needed to run a single-VM or distributed service fabric. In most cases, you will need to install extension profiles for additional capabilities.
Fabric3 also provides a Maven runtime assembly plugin. This plugin enables runtime images to be configured and provisioned as part of an automated build process instead of manually downloaded and installed. For details on using the runtime assembly plugin, see the documentation.
