Consisting of a number of well-known open source
products, JBoss is more a family of interrelated
services than a single monolithic application. But, as
with any tool that's as feature-rich as JBoss,
there are number of pitfalls & complexities, too.Most
developers struggle with the same issues when deploying
J2EE applications on JBoss: they have trouble getting
the many J2EE and JBoss deployment descriptors to
work together; they have difficulty finding out how
to get started; their projects don't have a
packaging and deployment strategy that grows with the
application; or, they find the Class Loaders confusing
and don't know how to use them, which
can cause problems.JBoss at Work: A Practical Guide
helps developers overcome these challenges. As you work
through the book, you'll build a project using
extensive code examples. You'll delve into all the
major facets of J2EE application deployment on JBoss,
including JSPs, Servlets, EJBs, JMS, JNDI, web services,
JavaMail, JDBC, and Hibernate. With the help of
this book, you'll:- Implement a full J2EE application
and deploy it on JBoss;- Discover how to
use the latest features of JBoss 4 &
J2EE 1.4, including J2EE-compliant web services;- Master J2EE
application deployment on JBoss with EARs, WARs, and
EJB JARs;- Understand the core J2EE deployment descriptors
and how they integrate with JBoss-specific descriptors;- Base
your security strategy on JAAS.Written for Java developers
who want to use JBoss on their projects,
the book covers the gamut of deploying J2EE
technologies on JBoss, providing a brief survey of
each subject aimed at the working professional with
limited time.
