Part 2. Application services

Now that you have a basic understanding of how things work within JBoss AS, we’ll tackle specific application types. The chapters in this part of the book cover the different types of applications that can be deployed to the application server: web applications, enterprise applications (including EJBs), messaging applications, and web services.

In each chapter, we tackle many of the same issues: what are the standard configuration mechanisms, and what additional configuration is required by JBoss AS? How do you secure the application, not just in authentication and access control, but also in encrypting the transmitted data? In fact, securing a web application is such a large topic we gave it its own chapter.
