It appears clearly to be more targeted towards the administrative part.
Usefull, anyway.
I like my Wrox Apache Tomcat 5 book.

Congratulation for the new book,
I think that the summary is giving good idea about it.
I hope that the chapters on EJB and Log4j are complete and will help me in my developping problemes.

Hi Norman and Sam, first I congratulate on your new book.
I have a two questions in JBoss and I think here only i should ask question to participate in "JavaRanch Book Promotion".

Qs1 : How to configure Jboss to run on some other port (except 8080) so that in URL to access our web application we need not mention the port number, also we have not to use port 80 ( which helps in achieving this functionality ). So basically my question is how to set Port redirection in Jboss ?

Qs2 : Can we run more than one instance of Jboss on same machine, like we can do for tomcat by setting Catalina home and catalina base ?
