Not looking for information, just passing some along. I was running with the above combination and things worked fine until Chpt 11. Then I got exceptions when using Stateful session beans. I switched back to Java 1.5 and am no longer having any issues.
The issues I had were JNDI failures in getInitialContext for Stateful beans.
It turns out JBoss is not yet qualified with Java 1.6.

I can work under JDK 1.6.0_03 with JBossAS 4.2.2GA , but you need to read this post first:

Also I include all {JBoss_home}/client/*.jar in classpath.
Enjoy!
