Book Description
The Official JBoss Development and Administration Guide offers a single source for information about deploying, administering, and extending JBoss. The book provides up-close and in-depth information both about the intricacies of JBoss and the best practices of J2EE development. The reader will be able, though this book, to install JBoss and develop J2EE applications as well as extending and enhancing JBoss itself--a primary benefit of the open-source nature of the JBoss product.
/p>Reviews From AMAZON.COM
this books covers the basics but lacks depth
This a good book if you don't know anyting about JBoss, but it falls short once you detailed information. Check the JBoss forums for answers before buying this book.
Shockingly poor title.
The subtitle of this book "Administration and Development" is comletely inaccurate. The foreward begins: "This book is for the JBoss content developer and administrator".
No it isn't. It should be called "JBoss Internals", which is what it actually covers. Whoever chose the title was an idiot. How anyone could imagine that a book on JBoss that doesn't cover EJB deployment is aimed at administrators is beyond me.
Less than useless (if I could give it zero stars I would), as the "authorized" book, it will actively discourage people from learning JBoss.
