JBoss 3.2 Deployment and Administration

JBoss 3.2 Deployment and Administration is a guide to the variety of configurative, administrative, and deployment tasks that associated with setting up and running J2EE components on the JBoss application server. Deploying J2EE applications and configuring the application server is one of the most tricky and non-standard elements of J2EE development. Each server interprets and implements the specifications differently, adding its own proprietary features and functionality. JBoss is the leading open source J2EE application server. It was the JavaWorld 2002 Editor's choice for Best Application Server. Its downloads are an order of magnitude greater than any other server (200,000). TogetherSoft poll places JBoss as the leading choice for development (43%). The basic runtime and source is free, however you can pay for documentation and support services.
