The JBoss TrailBlazer is a collection of interactive demos, runnable sample applications, technical articles, and other materials to help developers learn a new technology. These are part of JBoss's latest effort to make enterprise Java more easily accessible to everyone.
 
There are currently two EJB 3.0 related TrailBlazer applications. They are hosted on the latest JBoss AS 4.0.3 RC1, which comes with full EJB 3.0 support out-of-the-box, and is available for generic public over the Internet.

• The JBoss EJB 3.0 TrailBlazer focuses on the EJB 3.0 POJO programming model. It has 20 technical articles, more than a dozen live sample applications (with online source code), and several flash demonstrations. It covers almost all aspects of EJB 3.0 programming. Notable "trails" include:
  • The new GUI installer allows you to customize JBoss and only install services you need
  • Stateful Session Beans
  • EntityManager for POJO Persistence
  • Extended Application Transactions
• The JBoss IDE TrailBlazer has a series of flash demonstrations to show you how to develop, deploy, and debug a JBoss EJB 3.0 application from scratch using the IDE.
