A. Installing and Deploying JBoss AS
JBoss Seam is developed and tested on the latest JBoss Application Server (AS). It is built on top of many JBoss services, such as JBoss AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming), Hibernate, EJB3, JSF, JBoss Cache, and JBoss Transaction Manager. Seam provides a simple, unified programming model for accessing all those heavy-duty enterprise services.
The build scripts for all example applications in this book build EAR files that can be deployed in the JBoss AS (see Appendix B, Using Example Applications as Templates, on how to build the example applications). Seam requires JBoss AS 4.0+ with the latest EJB3 module (you’ll learn how to install this shortly). You must use JDK 5.0 to run the JBoss AS.
