## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book
*by B***L on January 3, 2006*

Normally, I would have waited until I had worked through all the examples in the book. However, I am somewhat concerned with the two very negative reviews published recently by persons who have totally misjudged the value proposition of this book.This book never promises to be a reference manual type book listing ins and outs of JBoss configuration. It is stated in the preface and the opening chapter in black and white. Using JBoss as a vehicle, it is teaching very subtle but all-important J2EE concepts. After all, JBoss IS a J2EE server. Without J2EE applications, it has no use. I do agree that some of the deployment tasks are missing from the Ant build files in the downloads from the book's web site (specifically colddeploy). It should not matter though. Bring the server down, copy the EAR file to the deploy directory, and bring it back up. It does the same thing. You DO need some previous knowledge and experience with some J2EE containers, e.g., WebLogic, WebSphere etc. to benifit from this book though. It is NOT book for rand beginners. If you do have some prior experience with J2EE containers and are NOT specifically looking for comprehensive reference material on JBoss configuration/tuning etc. then this book begins to be very useful. It may have to do with how people learn however. I personally like the presentation style and the material presented in this book very much.

### ⭐ A disappointing JBoss book
*by J***G on December 27, 2005*

I was looking for a guide for JBoss application server from a beginer's point of view (I have been working with Weblogic for several years but not JBoss) and bought this book since it was rated so high. However, after I finished reading the book, I felt very disappointed since this book talks so little for JBoss! Instead, it puts most of the content on J2EE programming, how to develop 3-tier application, and MVC framework etc. I am not buying this book to learn J2EE techniques!!! What I want to know is how JBoss is managing all its services, how to config different settings, what logging mechanisms are provided (general, JDBC, http, etc.), or how to tune the performance of a JBoss server. Unfortunately, thost topics are either just mentioned slightly (like logging in appendix B), or not there at all.In summary, if you are a beginner for J2EE and want to start your development with JBoss, this book might be good for you. Don't expect to find more information of JBoss from it! I am a fan of O'Reilly books, but this one is not one of them!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great overview of a broad spectrum of products
*by W***N on March 19, 2007*

"JBoss at Work" is a great overview of a broad spectrum of product technologies. It spends enough time on each to get them working and to provide a feel for their value, customizability, and flexibility. Examples are well-presented and contain discussion about how they work and are configured for multiple populare application environments, where appropriate. It has excellent background and history for each technology, popular alternatives, and a discussion about why the author preferred this particular technology. In other words, the authors provide more than just the bare mention included in many "survey" books. There is enough to get all of them working, and working together as a cohesive set. It does not, however, provide a lot of detail on each one.This was perfect for my needs -- to provide a strong enough introduction for me to understand into which technologies I wanted to delve deeper, and enough contact with each of them to allow me to evaluate competing technologies in their space.
