I'd like to thank Packt Publishing for offering another opportunity
to write about my favorite application server. I'd also like to thank
my family for supporting me during the creation of this book, in
particular my father for teaching me all the tricks of the glorious
C-64 when I was a kid.
Also a special thanks to the people that collaborated to this book: my
friend Luca Viola who lent me the hardware for these benchmarks.
JBoss guys Carlo de Wolf and Alessio Soldano for their precious
advices. And last but not least the technical reviewers - Devon
Hillard and Kushal Paudyal—and all the Packt Pub staff for their
competent cooperation.
