Book Overview:

JBoss is an open-source, Java application server that performs most of the functions of larger commercial servers, without the cost. An application server is a necessary component of any enterprise Java application. Commercial application servers, such as BEA's WebLogic or IBM's WebSphere, can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. JBoss is a perfect option for smaller corporations or individuals who want to run J2EE applications but can't afford a commercial application server. More than 50,000 copies of JBoss are downloaded every month, making JBoss the most downloaded Java application server. JBoss 4.0 includes new features to integrate development with Eclipse and incorporate Aspect-Oriented Programming, enhancing developers' ability to share and reuse code across libraries or applications. It also implements J2EE 1.4 functionality months ahead of the commercial application server vendors.

JBoss 4.0 - The Official Guide documents the internals of the JBoss server, and is co-written by the JBoss development team. It's for advanced J2EE developers who want to get under the hood and get the most from their JBoss applications.

Author Bio

JBoss 4.0: The Official GuideAbout the Authors

Scott Stark, Ph.D. started out as a chemical engineer and graduated with a B.S. from the University of Washington, and he later earned a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware. While he was at Delaware, it became apparent that computers and programming were to be his passion, so he made the study of applying massively parallel computers to difficult chemical engineering problems the subject of his Ph.D. research. It has been all about distributed programming ever since. Scott currently serves as the chief technology officer of JBoss, Inc., an elite services company based out of Atlanta.

Marc Fleury, Ph.D. started in sales at Sun Microsystems France. A graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, France's top engineering school, and an ex-lieutenant in the paratroopers, he has a master's in theoretical physics from the ENS ULM and a Ph.D. in physics for work he did as a visiting scientist at MIT (working with X-ray lasers). Marc currently serves as the president of JBoss, Inc.

Norman Richards is a JBoss developer and is currently the maintainer of this guide. He graduated with a B.S. in computer science from the University of Texas at Austin, where he researched evolving neural networks to play the game of go. Norman is the co-author of XDoclet in Action (Manning Publications).
