I agree with the Original poster- that the Starting guide documentation from Jboss- is poorly written
But thanks to the helping hands here- it wasn't too difficult to get it running eventually- once you got on the right track
Cheers
I posted a Jboss tutorial (albeit somewhat different )on by blog.
It might help some one else who may come looking around for a solution
