Hi Folks,<br><br>This is my first message to the mailing list.<br>I'm currently trying to get started with JBoss.<br>I already have some basic experience with Tomcat and JBoss, but I wanted to take this knowledge to a higher lever.<br>
<br>Therefor, I started reading the new book JBoss In Action, which focuses on JBoss 5.<br><br>I'm already a few chapters far in the book, but there are some things that aren't clear to me that I wish to have cleared up before continuing to read.<br>
<br>One of them is the existence of <br><br>deployers/jbossweb.deployer<br>and <br>deploy/jbossweb.sar<br><br>In the book it's not very well described what the exact tasks of both are. I mean, I know it's the Tomcat web container, but what I don't know is what is configured where, and why.<br>
<br>I see for example the following files:<br><br>deployers/jbossweb.deployer/META-INF/war-deployers-jboss-beans.xml<br>What is this used for?<br><br>deployers/jbossweb.deployers/web.xml<br>> It seems this file is doing more than just being a deployment descriptor.<br>
<br>On the other hand, you also got:<br>deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml<br><br>I'm just very confused about all those different files that are related to the jboss web container, which are located in all those distinct places.<br>
<br>Another question, what are the equal files in JBoss 4?<br><br>I'm sorry if my questions are vague, but I'm pretty confused about this.<br><br>If you would just try to give me an explanation or give me a link to a good document, I would kindly appreciate it.<br>
<br><br>
