Quickstarts
Examples
Not ready to dive in yet?
With over 50 quickstarts and growing, you should find technical material for any step you have implementing applications on JBoss AS7 or JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6. You'll find out how to write a web application using the latest Java EE technologies like CDI and JAX-RS. How to write client libraries to talk to JBoss AS using web services, JMS or EJB. How to set up a distributed transaction, and how to recover from a transaction failure. And much, much more.
Quickstarts are very focused - they demonstrate on a single API (e.g. JAX-RS) or a single use case (write a web-app with CRUD).
