Migrate from Jboss EAP 6.4 to WildFly

I need to migrate my application from Jboss EAP 6.4 to WildFly. I am new to Jboss and not a developer. My application is currently deployed on Jboss 6.4 and it's working fine.

Can you please provide me with details on to how to migrate to WildFly server.

  1. Which WildFly version should I use?
  2. Are there any development work to migrate?
  3. How to change configurations (like standalone.xml)?

Any hint or help to do this migration is appreciated. If you need any further information I can provide any details.

Based on the following resources, and my own personal experience, I find that Wildfly 8.2.1 is the closest I can get to EAP 6.4.

In terms of standalone.xml changes, I find that most of the changes I make to JBOSS EAP 6.4 and Wildfly 8.2.1 are interchangeable, but anything that includes an XML namespace will need to be updated. For example the loggers, datasources, security-domains use the same XML configuration, but their XML namespace has changed.

Now, as many have mentioned, this will vary tremendously based on your individual app and what subsystem components you're making use of. My own app tends to deploy using very few of the JBOSS capabilities/components, intentionally so that I can shift servers somewhat painlessly. However, other apps can integrate much more tightly and would require a great deal more to migrate.
