I recently had some interest from a prospective employer who were looking for someone with JBoss and Tomcat experience. Having had extensive use of these systems in my previous role, I figured I would write a quick howto to get people up and running with JBoss in a short time period. Jboss AS (application server) is an open source Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) based application server, similar to Goldfish. As it is Java based, it runs on multiple platforms and architectures. Jboss features clustering, fail over, load balancing, distributed deployment, deployment API, management API and much more so its a very versatile platform for serving up your applications.

Where the hell am I?
After years of running and supporting java applications, I have begun a journey into Java programming. My first program has produced some interesting fruit. Using some net-svengali magickery I will attempt to find your location without asking you for ANY details whatsoever. None of the usual “hello world” first program malarkey here! Just for the record, this does not use IP Geolocation initially – hence the accuracy in the cases that it works (normally ‘right on the doorstep’). If it fails to find a near exact fix for you, it will now try IP Geolocation (usually reported back as ‘a few miles away’).
