I also need working examples of JBoss 5 since so far the documentation that is out there simply shows xml - fragments of what the jboss deployment descriptors should look like. Specifically I'm migrating from JBoss 4 and am left with nothing but trial - and error to decrypt JBoss's exceptions. If someone could kindly point to working examples that *have to be out there*, it would greatly help the community as well as everyone on this thread.
