JBoss: A Developer's Notebook (Developers Notebook) Review by S. S. Mason
Great high level overview
"JBoss: A Developer's Notebook" is a great introduction to getting up and running on JBoss. Instead of just dumping code and mounds of text at you, it quickly walks through setting up a "ToDo" application, including connecting to a mySQL database, logging, monitoring and security. None of it is in-depth but it's enough to point you in the right direction.
Be warned that the chapter on persistence uses XDoclet whereas things are moving towards EJB3 now so that chapter is not quite as useful as the rest of the book.
Overall, I would recommend this book if you are looking to set up a JBoss development server. Using it, I was able to tweak my installation of JBoss quite a bit.
