Have you already done some servlet and EJB programming? If so, I suggest you start with the Getting Started Guide: http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/getting_started/v5/html/. Another good getting started reference is the book JBoss at Work: http://www.amazon.com/JBoss-at-Work-Practical-Guide/dp/0596007345, though it does not cover EJB3. If you have not done any servlet programming, look at Core Servlets and JSPs at http://www.coreservlets.com/. The price is right (free!) but the version of servlets/JSPs is rather dated. If you have not done any EJB programming, I recommend just starting off with SEAM. See http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossseam/?prjlist=false And of course, you will want to read the JBoss docs at http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossas/docs View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3992466#...
