There's nothing ordinary about JBoss. What began as an open source EJB container
project six years ago has become a fully certified J2EE 1.4 application server
with the largest market share, competitive with proprietary Java application servers
in features and quality. It certainly wasn't built as an ordinary server, having
pioneered the lightweight microkernel and pluggable services style of development
that's become so popular. And with its dynamic architecture, JBoss isn't just
a J2EE server. You can alter the services to make J2EE work the way you want,
or even throw J2EE away completely.
Plus, it's free. After more than a million downloads, many JBoss users are
no longer trying it out on internal test boxes, but rolling it out on production
machines. This complex application server and development environment is deceivingly
simple to install and configure, but a lot of Java developers who download JBoss
are stumped by all the plug-ins that make it work.
Not to worry. JBoss: A Developer's Notebook takes you on a complete tour of
JBoss in a very unique way: rather than long discussions, you will find code-lots
of code. In fact, the book is a collection of hands-on labs that take you through
all the critical JBoss features step-by-step. You don't just read about JBoss,
you learn it through direct practical application. That includes exploring the
server's many configurations: from bare features for simple applications, to
the lightweight J2EE configuration, to everything JBoss has in store-including
Hibernate and Tomcat.
JBoss: A Developer's Notebook also introduces the management consol, the web
services messaging features, enhanced monitoring capabilities, and shows you
how to improve performance. At the end of each lab, you'll find a section called
"What about..." that anticipates and answers likely follow-up questions,
along with a section that points you to articles and other resources if you
need more information.
JBoss is truly an extraordinary application server. And we have an extraordinary
way for you to learn it.

Excellent book from the "Notebook" series
This is my second from the O'Reilly "Notebook Series" and it is excellent. The authers picked the right topics to discuss. As a word of warning - I would not recommend this book for the novice. Get the O'Reilly book on EJB (or similar) if you need to learn how EJB works. But if you know J2EE/EJB and want to start using JBoss quickly, this book is execllent.
