The official guide to JBoss--the most popular open source Java Application Server available--written by the creators and developers of JBoss.

• The Official JBoss Development and Administration Guide is the first and only authorized publication on the JBoss server.
• Author Marc Fleury, was a pioneering Java engineer at Sun Microsystems and now enjoys worldwide recognition as the creator and lead developer of JBoss.
• The Official JBoss Development and Administration Guide will be aggressively publicized through the JBoss.org Web site as the only official "hard" distribution and documentation for JBoss.

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.
