How to configure in JBoss eas 6.xx server / Spring boot?

Answer 1

The best way to connect from wildlfy or jboss to an external information system (EIS) that is not JEE, is to write a resource adapter. A resource adapter act's as a driver to the EIS. If your EIS is a server, you need a outbound resource adapter. In this case your outbound resource adapter acts as client. If your EIS (Tuxeo) wants to access your Jboss-Server as a client, you need a inbound resource adapter. The inbound resource adapter acts as a server for external connections from an EIS.

The resource adapter jca framework in Wildfly is Ironjacamar. I think for Jboss too. The Ironjacamar framework has a codegenerator to generate an inbound or outbound resource adapter. I wrote a simple sample project on Github and describe the usage of the codegenerator in this sample. I think it would run also on a Jboss Server. I hope that's help you.
