Synopsis

HIGHLIGHT

JBoss in Action teaches readers how to use the JBoss application server, digging

into the things that separate JBoss from other Java EE servers. This book goes

deeply into the advanced features and configuration of the server. In particular,

it focuses on enterprise-class topics, such as high availability, security, and

performance.

DESCRIPTION

JBoss in Action is the first book to focus on teaching readers in detail how to use

the JBoss application server. Unlike other titles about JBoss, the authors of JBoss

in Action go deeper into the advanced features and configuration of the server.

In particular, it focuses on enterprise-class topics, such as high availability,

security, and performance.

This book walks readers through the JBoss 5 Application Server from installation

to configuration to production deployment. It shows how to configure the

server’s various component containers such as the JBoss Web Server, the EJB 3

server, and JBoss Messaging. It also provides detailed insight into configuring the

various component services such as security, performance, and clustering.

Beyond coverage of the core application server, the book also teaches how to use

some of the “hot” technologies that run on top of the application server, such as

JBoss Seam and JBoss Portal.

The authors, both seasoned professional experts at developing and administering

JBoss, provide meaningful explanations and background on many topics

which they tie in with their own practical, real-world advice from their

collective experience. These uniquely comprehensive explanations and the wide

coverage provided in this book surpass any other content currently available in

any other book, article, or documentation on the subject.
