Reader Reviews:
One of the best starters to a product I have read (1/1 people found this helpful)
This is a great compact introduction to JBoss that is idea if you have experience with another J2EE server (in my case WebLogic).
It has one of the highest ratios of facts to pages I have encountered in a technical book
Very disappointing (0/0 people found this helpful)
I have been a big fan of O'Reilly's books since the early days. Lately however they seem to be churning new ones out with little thought for quality. This book being a prime example. I bought it because at the time it was one of the few JBoss books around. Unfortunately, I would have been better waiting. If you want to use JBoss with XDoclet or other technologies then this may be of interest to you (funny that one of the authors also has a book out on that technology). If you don't then stay away. They would have been better sticking to the core subject: how to get servlets, EJBs and JSPs working with JBoss. There is some interesting information in there but you'll probably need to continually cross reference with other reference sources to get it all to work.
Dissapointing introduction to JBoss (2/2 people found this helpful)
I expected a good book from these authors. They were, after all, intimately involved with the development of JBoss. I had expected that it would contain some introductory material which enabled the reader to quick start the process of running JBoss. Unfortunately the book is full of arcane listings which are badly formatted (the authors use the lazy turnaround symbol to indicate that two lines should be treated as if they were on the same line rather than use proper indentation).
If you are a heavy expert on Java and all the Enterprise stuff then this book is passable as a reference guide. For the majority, though, it will be a big dissapointment.
