Hello,

I've been playing around with JBoss 3.2.0 to achieve the following:

1. Manage to get a standalone Tomcat instance to communicate (reference a session bean via its remote interfaces) with JBoss.
2. Making the session bean to reference a CMP 2.0 entity bean using the entity bean's local interfaces since they are both running within the same JVM.
3. The CMP 2.0 entity bean shall handle auto-incremented columns in a MySQL database.

I finally made it work, and I have assembled the result into a (hopefully) intuitive Step-by-step tutorial that might be handy for other JBoss newbies as myself. The package also includes source code and pre-compiled JAR, WAR files.

Enjoy!
