JBoss In Action

One of the things you quickly realize when you work with any of the technologies cov-
ered by the Java EE umbrella is that many things are part of the specification, and
some things are left as “implementation details” or left up to the implementer’s dis-
cretion. In practice, this means that any time you learn a Java EE technology, besides
learning the fundamentals about that technology, you also need to learn how to apply
or configure the technology in the environment in which you wish to deploy it. If your
deployment environment of choice is the JBoss Application Server, then this book is
for you because it covers those areas that are outside the scope of the specifications.
In this book, we cover a wide variety of technologies and show you how to config-
ure those technologies specifically for use in the JBoss Application Server. Naturally,
this can’t be done in a vacuum, so we provide simple examples that illustrate the tech-
nology and then walk you through the steps necessary to configure things such as
deployment descriptors, access control, and encryption. Our intent isn’t to describe
every nuance of any particular technology. For that, we recommend that you read
books particular to those technologies (and we provide references at the end of most
chapters). Instead, use this book to learn how to use the technology within the JBoss
Application Server.
