Overview of this book

JBoss Application Server meets high standards of reliability, efficiency, and robustness, and is used to build powerful and secure Java EE applications. It supports the most important areas of Java Enterprise programming including EJB 3.1, Contexts and Dependency Injection, JAX-WS and JAX-RS web services, the security framework, and more. Getting started with JBoss application server development can be challenging; however, with the right approach and guidance, you can easily master it and this book promises that.Written in an easy-to-read style, this book will take you from the basics of JBoss AS—such as installing core components and plugins—to the skills that will make you a JBoss developer to be reckoned with, covering advanced topics such as developing applications with the JBoss messaging service, JBoss web services, clustered applications, and more.You will learn the necessary steps to install a suitable environment for developing enterprise applications on JBoss AS. You will also learn how to design Enterprise applications using Eclipse, JBoss plugins, and Maven to build and deploy your applications. Readers will learn how to enable distributed communication using JMS. Storing and retrieving objects will be made easier using the Java Persistence API. The core section of the book will take you into the programming arena with tested, real-world examples. The example programs have been carefully crafted to be easy to understand and useful as starting points for your applications. This practical guide will show you how to gain hands-on experience rapidly on Java EE development using JBoss AS with easy-to-understand and practical programming examples.

Starting Forge

In order to start Forge, there is a script named forge.bat (or the equivalent forge.sh for Unix). Run the following script:

forge.bat

This will launch the Forge console:

The console accepts a large set of commands, such as commands to navigate and manipulate the filesystems, to create new projects, to operate on the Forge environment and UI generation, and scaffolding commands.

In order to learn all the available commands, you can enter list-commands from the shell, as shown in the following screenshot, which enlists all the basic commands you can use in Forge 1.2.0 Final:

If you want to learn more about the single commands, you can use help followed by the command name:

Note

Besides the standard commands, it is possible to enrich the syntax of the Forge command line with plugins, which add superior capabilities to your project creation. On this link, http://forge.jboss.org/plugins.html, you can find a list of available plugins at the time of writing. For example, we are going to use the hibernate-tools plugin in order to reverse engineer the database schema into Java entities. We will also use the JBoss AS 7 plugin, which can provide us with seven management capabilities from within the Forge shell.

In the following section, we will demonstrate how to use some of the available commands in order to create a Java EE 6 application.
