Ask HN: Who can host a jboss portlet written from eclipse?
3 points by _THE_PLAGUE 5480 days ago
If I make a jboss portlet in my eclipse and it is published to localhost, how can I get it hosted on the web ("the cloud", etc.). What cheap hosting service can I use to zip up my .war file and so forth and send it to them to host on the web? Just any old web hosting company? Or does it have to be specific? Thinking of playing around with portlets as an excercise and wondered whom I could get to host.

If you haven't already done so, check out Red Hat's OpenShift PaaS. It is free to use, supports JBoss and Java EE apps on AWS. A couple of clicks and your app will be in the cloud with auto-scaling, perf monitoring, log management and versioning built it. Check it out at: http://openshift.redhat.com/app/flex

Interesting, thanks. I'll check it out. Does this support building a demo app, i.e., can it have a public url to the jboss app I would deploy so I can send that public url to others to view?

Absolutely. OpenShift rides on top of AWS, so the URL is accessible publicly. Check out some of the videos at: https://www.redhat.com/openshift/videos to get a feeel for how it all works.
