Ebook: JBoss at Work: A Practical Guide

JBoss at Work shows you how to develop an enterprise application from start to finish: from the Java Server Pages on the frontend to the session EJBs and the database on the backend. The focus is on writing working code, building the application, packaging the application properly (with all those deployment descriptors), and getting the application deployed. In addition to JBoss, this book shows you how to use tools like Ant, XDoclet, and Hibernate (which is the preferred persistence mechanism).
