Getting Started Guide - release 3

[norman.richards]

Release 3 of the getting started guide is out. It should be used with update 4 of the Sun J2EE tutorial. Links to the guide can be found at http://docs.jboss.org/.

Simple question, does the tutorial work? I am having lot's of problems, got it to compile, but it will not deploy using java 1.4.2, JBoss 4. Lot's of Warning about Bean not having a setter method for a CMP field and then a class not found Error. On the advice in a diferent thread I reverted to an older version of the tutorail from Sun (Version 2) since version 4 would not deploy either. I am beginning to think the entire tutorial is messed up. So does it work? If so what do I need to get it to work (java sdk version, jboss version, tutorial version).

thanks

Yes, the tutorial works. Use the the latest version at docs.jboss.org with the update 4 of the Sun J2EE tutorial. Everything works. I've installed and run the examples dozens of times.

In Section 2.2.4 (Additional Services) of the Getting Started Guide - release 3, it is stated that ear-deployer.xml deploys J2EE EJB JAR files and that ejb-deployer.xml deploys J2EE EAR files.

I believe this is a typo...

As you can see in another thread, the tutorial does not work due to some wrong hsql-db.xml. I spent hours together until I found that thread where someone said the "localDB=..." phrase needs to be removed.

Perhaps you can show me where the getting started guide says to remove the other MBean definition? It's just not there. If you DO remove it, then yes you need to change to dependency. I can certainly concede that the guide could be clearer and emphasize that you indeed shouldn't do something it doesn't tell you to do. It makes sense that you might want to do that, but it's not necessary to run the examples.

The current version is now Getting Started Guide Release 4

The current J2EE 1.4 Tutorial is update 5.

I have tried to get release 4 to work with update 2, 4, and 5 to no avail.

I have followed the Getting Started Release 4 guide exactly, and get the same deploy error cited on this forum elsewhere.

Has anyone been able to get Release 4 to work with update 5?

Is there something beyond the steps cited in the guide that must be done?
