Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: I have found this book very useful and an excellent handbook for Jboss, all details are very precise and to the point. I specially like the fact that the author explains each and every individual file and its significance from the Jboss installation directory. All details are explained from an Administrator's perspective.
I managed to get an edge over the deployment trick and strategies in just few mins using this book, I highly recommend it to anyone looking forward to take full advantage of JBoss properties files and features.
I specially like the chapters on CMP Performance Tuning and Scheduling of Tasks.
Cheers,
Shafique Razzaque.

Summary: Invaluable configuration and deployment reference book
Comment: A valuable one stop resource on JBoss configuration, administration, and deployment tasks. This handbook provided an organized presentation of information required to learn and implement JBoss. I wished though that MySQL should have been included in the chapter on JBossCX and Data Sources. Overall this material is a focused and great instant reference to those new to JBoss. Buyers of this book will highly appreciate any errata or updates be made available on the Wrox website. Thank you.

Summary: Another worthless Wrox work
Comment: I've finally learned my lesson, and am swearing off Wrox titles. I wouldn't have bought this one, but the only other book on the JBoss admin topic is packed with useless information as well.
Where to start on this books flaws?
Incomplete and Confusing. There are too many snippets of XML elements that I could never figure out what document they were supposed to be used. For example, I'd expect something as common as configuring a DataSource to include a clear, step-by-step set of instructions, maybe even some example code showing how to set-up and use a MySQL or Oracle RDBMS within a servlet or EJB. No such luck. The only thing is some confusing stuff about setting up an mbean that's completely unnecessary since you can just drop an xml-config file from the examples directory into the deploy directory and change the values.
Inconsistent. There are places in the book where an example uses one set of values, and the follow on example uses something different. For example, in the section describing how to set up a JDBC login module, the code for a SQL statement is given as "SELECT [x] FROM...". On the very next page, an xml snippet shows the query used in some config-file as "SELECT [y] FROM..." Now, they both end up amounting to the same thing, but it would've been nice to see both statements the same way to help reinforce what goes where.
Improper. Some of the references to MegaDeath and Euthanasia used in code snippets. I've nothing against either of those topics. However, they are out of place in a technical reference. This may seem a bit trivial, but, to me, it shows a lack of professionalism that just keeps me thinking: "Why'd I buy from this publisher?"
Anyway, I'd try to sell this on e-bay, but I can't pawn this off on another developer in good conscience.
