I realize this may be somewhat of a "101" question but would appreciate any and all input.

I'm looking for a comprehensive J2EE tutorial that I can work through "hands-on" using a JBOSS instance installed on Windows XP. I'm thinking something along the lines of the J2EE 1.4 tutorial from Sun that implements a online bookstore.

Any general suggestions are welcome, as are links to any specific resources. If it matters I'm using Eclipse 3.3.2 as my IDE

Regards
BB

Bruce, welcome to Java Ranch!

Are you looking for J2EE 1.4 resources? If so, the book JBoss At Work most likely provides what you are looking for.

If you are looking for Eclipse guidelines, then perhaps a combination of installing JBoss Tools and reading the JBoss Tools Getting Started Guide will help. (I would not go this route if I were a new user - if something goes wrong it is hard to tell if the fault lies with Eclipse, Tools, or the app server.)

If you are looking for very simple tutorials, JBoss In Action might work. It is primarily focused on configuring JBoss AS 5.0, but we do show how to write some simple apps. But it is definitely not a Java EE 5 tutorial.

Peter, thanks for the suggestions. The tutorial in JBOSS In Action is exactly what I'm looking for. One question though, does it assume JDK 1.4?. Will I be able to download an instance of JBOSS that will allow me to complete the tutorials in JBOSS In Action?

Regards
Bruce

JBoss at Work is based on JBoss AS 4.0.2 (I think, the book is at work and I am at home so cannot check). You can download 4.0.2 from http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/ . I suggest you go with the exact version specified in the book because the JBoss team tended to make major changes in the 4.0.x versions and I know that the web services example does not work on later versions.

I think that 1.4.2 is an acceptable JVM for JBoss AS 4.0.2.
