I'm an opensource entusiast, we can test everything for free, you just need background and skills
want to digg into the Java Application Server(s) world? Just test/run two of them:
* free solutions exists like Apache Tomcat.
My Host machine is a Gentoo x86_64 and I don't want flood my setup with tons of dependences, so just fire up Oracle Virtualbox and setup a minimal Virtual Machine to install Fedora 23
Here I have assigned just 768 MB of RAM and installed the Server flavour
* can be accessed via RDP by VirtualBox itself on guest network issue
* can be accessed via sshd, running by default
* it have Docker service disabled by default
Apache Tomcat
* installed directly on guest OS via dnf
* adjusted config
* deployed a sample
Tomcat is running on port 8080
This time to test the "Docker images and container stuff" then, run JBoss AS in a container!
* disabled new firewalld default service and back to iptables
* enabling service
* building an image with JBoss AS with management console
* deployed a sample
Wildfly is running on port 8090
Of curse, the issue in this proof of concept test IS that:
"I'm running Docker container into a Virtual Machine."
