JBoss 3.0 Deployment and Administration Handbook

The Deployment and Administration Handbooks simply the varied and often complex task of getting J2EE applications up and running on a J2EE 1.3 certified application server. Despite the J2EE standard, every application server is different. Each has its own administrative interface, and deployment process. Each interprets and implements the specifications slightly differently, adding its own proprietary features and functionality.

To develop powerful J2EE applications that fully utilize the runtime services provided by the platforms in which they run, you need to be well versed with the configuration and deployment of J2EE components on the application server.

The JBoss 3.0 Deployment and Administration Handbook is a guide to the variety of configurative, administrative and deployment tasks that are associated with setting up and running J2EE components on the JBoss 3.0 application server.

The book covers:

The JBoss JMX-based configuration architecture
Deploying J2EE components: WAR, EJB JAR, and EAR
Configuring JBoss Security
Configuring JCA and Datasources
Configuring JBossMQ for JMS and JavaMail
Configuring the Jetty and Tomcat Web Containers
Configuring JBoss Clustering
Configuring Log4J Logging
Configuring EJB deployments
Configuring Container-Managed Persistence for Entity Beans
Proprietary JBoss features such as Scheduling

This Handbook assumes that you are familiar with J2EE development and is focused only on deployment and administrative tasks for the JBoss application server.
