Getting Started Tutorial Needs Updating

[bobufuller30004]

The 'Getting Started' tutorial...

http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/getting_started/v4/html/

...needs to be updated. The instructions and supporting code simply do not work with the latest versions of the software. The exceptions and various build problems result in wasted time and a very frustrating experience with JBoss AS.

If you could take a moment to explain what needs changing in the example and possibly submit a documentation bug, that would be more helpful than stating "it doesn't work."

Numerous people have submitted specific problems with the tutorial on this and other forums. I'm not going to waste my time pointing them out yet again. The tutorial is simply out of date. Someone from JBoss needs to update it and the supporting code to work with the latest JBoss AS and Duke's Bank software.

As far as I can tell, the only problem with Duke's Bank on 4.0.5 is the the back-slash dollar-sign character combo that appears in the atmAck.jsp and accountList.jsp files. That character combination is being interpreted as an ESC character.

See http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=93866

Other than that, Duke's Bank runs just fine. I went through the tutorial from scratch just last week.

Was there a problem with other parts of the Getting Started Guide other than Duke's Bank?
