Along with many bug fixes and enhancements, this is the first general release to include our new, significantly improved open-source console.
Highlights
* New Web Console - This release includes our new administration console. Several updates have been made since the CR1 release, including the introduction of WAR metrics.
* Web Beans Update - In addition, this release includes an updated tech preview of the new JSR-299 Web Beans RI.
* Farming Returns - Due to popular demand, the farming service is back!

Hi,

I am trying to evaluate JBOSS. I installed the 5.1.0.GA from the http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/ page.

I need to use JBoss MDB 3.0 but I cannot find the jboss-ejb3x.jar (which should be under server\default\lib), jboss-annotations-ejb3.jar, jbossall-client.jar (which should be under \client). I cannot find these files at all user the 5.1.0.GA install.

Then I noticed in the download page this note...

Important Note: If you want EJB3 or Seam support with JBoss AS 4.0.3 SP1, 4.0.4 or 4.0.5, you MUST download and use the relevant version of JEMS Installer together with JDK5.0. JBoss AS 4.2.x versions include support for EJB3, by default.

When I click on the http://www.jboss.org/jemsinstaller/downloads/ hyperlinks ("download" and "JEMS Installer" links in the note above), I get a...

Sorry, the page you're looking for cannot be found.
Please use the Search box in the header to check that the information isn't located somewhere else.

... Can someone please let me know what should one do to use JBoss MDB 3.0 with the 5.1.0.GA install ?

Thanks,
Eduardo.

EJB3 (including MDB support) is built into JBoss AS 5.1.0, you do not need to install anything extra.

Also, all of the server JAR files moved to common/lib, they are no longer in server/xxx/lib.

Thanks Peter.

You are correct, in fact, when I included in my project all jars I could find under the 5.1.0.GA install I got it to work. :-)
