Thanks for your reply!

I'm working on a J2EE application which will make use of EJB (persisting CMP beans to a MySQL data store), JMS and JavaMail and of course JNDI. In the long term I will need to secure the application with JAAS and implement any transactional requirements too but this is not a priority right now.

Also, I want to use JBoss as a stand alone app server, so I won't require Jetty.

Is this virtually everything? Maybe it would be better to strip out what I don't need from the default configuration?

As an aside, I do have a copy of the JBoss 2.4.x book but it isn't much help where version 3.0 is concerned. Is there a more explicit guide to the directory layout and config files?

Thanks for that. As I said, I've read through the GettingStarted guide but there's too many gaps for me to truly asses what's necessary for each component.

Thanks anyway!
