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.
