Download and install JBoss v4.2.1 as explained in the product documentation guides. From now on the installation directory will be referred as <jboss_home>
Create a copy of the default JBoss v4.2.1 application server. Copy recursively <jboss_home>\server\default to <jboss_home>\server\<your_server_name>
Start the new server by running the run.sh -c <your_server_name> command from the <jboss_home>\bin directory.
Once the server is started, you can verify that it is running by opening a Web browser and pointing it to this URL: http://localhost:8080^{Image Removed}. You should see the JBoss Welcome window and be able to access the JBoss console.
Once the application server is up and running, the next step is to install and configure all the remaining prerequisite software required by the sample application. This step is described in the following section.

After extracting the zip file, a loan directory is created. In that directory open the build.properties file and edit the properties to match your environment as shown in the following example:

## Set the Geronimo 2.0 home here
geronimo.home=<geronimo_home>

## Set XDoclet 1.2.3 Home 
xdoclet.home=<xdoclet_home>
