Product Description

Review
"JBoss is the certified J2EE application server from JEMS (JBoss Enterprise Middleware System) and with JBoss: A Developer's Notebook you'll be able set up and manage your project in minutes. It takes a no-nonsense approach and is the practical guide to JBoss for developers. It's certainly the kind of book that you'll constantly have open on your desk, and to save time they've added in some coffee cup stains on the pages for you! Scribbled notes in the margin also add to the notebook theme, but they are actually useful asides to the main text, which makes it one of the most readable books on the subject. However, some sections might prove a bit lightweight for the coding hardcore." .NET, November 2005 "A daring format which works well, a style that lends to quick reading and progress, and an all-round enjoyable read. I look forward to other O'Reilly books in this series." - Mark Jones, news@UK, March 2006

Product Description
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. 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. 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. "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 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 console, 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing introduction to JBoss, 15 Jul 2005
By A Customer
I expected a good book from these authors. They were, after all, intimately involved with the development of JBoss. I had expected that it would contain some introductory material which enabled the reader to quick start the process of running JBoss. Unfortunately the book is full of arcane listings which are badly formatted (the authors use the lazy turnaround symbol to indicate that two lines should be treated as if they were on the same line rather than use proper indentation).

If you are a heavy expert on Java and all the Enterprise stuff then this book is passable as a reference guide. For the majority, though, it will be a big dissapointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best starters to a product I have read, 26 May 2006
By Mr. Steven P. Hicks - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great compact introduction to JBoss that is idea if you have experience with another J2EE server (in my case WebLogic).
It has one of the highest ratios of facts to pages I have encountered in a technical book

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 12 Oct 2005
I have been a big fan of O'Reilly's books since the early days. Lately however they seem to be churning new ones out with little thought for quality. This book being a prime example. I bought it because at the time it was one of the few JBoss books around. Unfortunately, I would have been better waiting. If you want to use JBoss with XDoclet or other technologies then this may be of interest to you (funny that one of the authors also has a book out on that technology). If you don't then stay away. They would have been better sticking to the core subject: how to get servlets, EJBs and JSPs working with JBoss. There is some interesting information in there but you'll probably need to continually cross reference with other reference sources to get it all to work.
