AppFuse on JBoss and an interesting perspective
Way back in January, Rick Hightower sent me instructions on how to run AppFuse on JBoss. I finally got around to digging through my inbox and putting them on the wiki. Here's how to run AppFuse on JBoss. If anyone is using JBoss, please feel free to edit these instructions.
Also, I noticed that Lee Grey has started an AppFuse Line-by-Line Category on this his blog. Very cool! Lee has a perspective that I never thought of:
AppFuse makes it possible for you to be productive, to take advantage of some of the most powerful and widely used open source development tools, before you really understand what you're doing. As a beautiful side-effect of this, you become familiar with Ant, Hibernate, Spring, Struts, Tiles, XDoclet, JUnit, Cactus, Canoo, DBUnit, and on and on -- all in the process of developing your application!
Good stuff Lee - keep it up! While this is a good perspective - I dread to think of supporting all those folks that don't "really understand what they're doing."
