Fabric3
Getting Started
The best way to learn Fabric3 is to download and install the tutorials. The tutorials build will download and assemble a set of fully functional Fabric3 servers.
A Note on the Distributions
Fabric3 can be deployed as a standalone server, hosted on Tomcat, or embedded in a web archive (WAR) for deployment to a servlet container or Java EE application server.
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 distributes a Maven plugin that embeds Fabric3 in web archives (WARs).
