Developing Web Services with J2EE 1.4[^3^]

• Sebastopol, CA--JBoss isn't an ordinary open source project. It isn't anordinary J2EE application server, either. In fact, as Norman Richards andSam Griffith, Jr. point out in their new book, JBoss: A Developer'sNotebook (O'Reilly, US $29.95), there's something special about JBoss.For example, JBoss is one of few open source, community-driven projectsthat have found commercial success without betraying their roots. AlthoughJBoss is freely available for any purpose, it's backed by a real company,JBoss, Inc., whose hundred-plus full-time employees fuel the continueddevelopment of the project. They also provide training and support forthose who need the reassurance of having strong vendor backing. But moreextraordinary is the technology itself.JBoss began as an open source EJB container project back in 1999. Sixyears later, JBoss 4.0 is a full J2EE 1.4-certified application server. Anextremely capable platform, it provides everything needed to quicklydevelop a complete J2EE application with little, if any, configurationrequired. But--as Richards and Griffith remind their readers--it isn'tjust a J2EE server. "Most people come to JBoss because they want a J2EEapplication server, but JBoss's dynamic architecture allows it to go wellbeyond J2EE," they note."Although JBoss provides a fully certified J2EE container, you're free toalter the services provided to make J2EE work the way you want," Richardsand Griffith continue. "You can even throw J2EE away completely, workingat a lower services level or at a higher level using technologies such asAOP and Hibernate. You can make JBoss as heavy or as light as you need itto be. You can stick to the J2EE specification for maximum portability oryou can rewrite the rules to obtain maximum agility and performance. WithJBoss, the choice is yours!"Developers who are moving their J2EE projects to JBoss or starting outwith JBoss for the first time will find an ideal companion for their taskin JBoss: A Developer's Notebook. The book is built around practicalexamples that range from installing JBoss to rolling out an actualproduction system. The book doesn't explain how to write EJBs or JSPs;its focus is on getting all of the components to work together in a realapplication. As with other Developer's Notebooks, this guide is weightedtowards hands-on lab-style exercises and light on lecture and theory.Developers working through the exercises will learn how to:Install, configure, and monitor JBoss

• Use Ant to generate and deploy WAR and EAR files

• Use Xdoclet to automate the tedious parts of J2EE

• Work with real-world databases--commercial and open source

• Configure security, including stackable login modules and SSSL

• Configure Log4J to log important events from the server and applications

• Generate database schema automatically and keep the schema in sync with EJBs

• Map preexisting schema into objects

• Roll out a full-fledged production application

JBoss: A Developer's Notebook is the ideal introduction to thisimportant platform. It will guide readers through the most common andchallenging problems they face as real-world enterprise developers.
