I am a greenhorn. Please excuse my ignorance if it shows through.

I understand that J2EE code is to be independent of the server that the application is deployed on. Also, the deployment descriptors for web applications are standardized and should not need to be modified between containers. Are there things (in general) that should be / need to be specifically planned for to move an application to JBoss?

Congratulations on your book,

Patrick Heraghty

Wow, what a perfect lead-in! You are right - the spec define coding and some configuration, but leave the nitty gritty details of getting things working to the app servers. It is that extra stuff that is JBoss AS-specific that we cover.

I assume you mean from a different Java EE / J2EE application server to JBoss. Off the top of my head:

- JNDI bindings (which is a little easier if you use the Environment Naming Context)
- proprietary deployment descriptors
- data source configurations
- security datasource configuration
- clustering configuration
