Product DescriptionConsisting 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 and 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 and 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.
If you're one of thelegions of developers who have decided to give JBoss a try, then 'JBoss at Work: A Practical Guide' is your next logical purchase. It'll show you in plain language how to use the fastest growing open source tool in the industry today. If you've worked with JBoss before, this book will get you up to speed on JBoss 4, JBoss WS (web services), and Hibernate 3.

Rating: - Perfect Introduction!
Some books have alot of pages with little information. This book is short, but every page is rich with facts and insights.
I work with integrating a 3rd party application that uses JBoss, and come from a Microsoft development background, so this whole world of Java/JBoss/EJB was a bit new to me. I needed a good guide which would explain what JBoss is, how it works, and how to set it up.
JBoss at Work was exactly what I needed. It walks through setting up JBoss and using ... Read More

JBoss at Work: A Practical Guide
Great book. It is as the subtitle implies: a practical guide. It was easy to work through the book and the sample code and get a quick yet detailed overview of JBoss and Java web technology. Unlike some huge books, I did not get lost in the complexities. Any technology like this is complex enough as it is. I like to start with an overview, and this book is exactly that: a great introduction and overview. Even so, it's practical enough to put the knowledge ... Read More
Rating: - Encompassing
Aimed at the beginning J2EE developer, this book does a great job of encompassing several exciting technologies and showing how they can all work together (JBoss, Ant, XDoclet, Hibernate, etc.) to achieve the end goal of deploying a robust ear file. XDoclet and ant pair to automate several of the tedious tasks (read deployment descriptor generation) no developer wants to be bogged down with. I am a huge fan of how it introduces all the necessary technologies involved w/o diving into the mundane detail ... Read More
Rating: - Great Developer book for starters to JBOSS
Its a great book if you have just started your development with JBOSS 4. It is easy to read from a developer/deployment perspective and also delves into how to automate the deployment descriptors and deploy into JBOSS. Covers most of the common J2ee/Web applications using hibernate and Ant. Probably needs upgrading to JBOSS 5 but is great if your current development is in JBOSS 4.
Rating: - Great learning tool
I am most of the way through this book and so far, it's been extremely helpful and informative. It breaks all the steps down one by one and takes you from a simple Hello-World type app, to a more complicated enterprise application. A great read all-around.
