As an owner of the jboss all docs subscription (hang on, it expired last month, must 
resubscribe, thanks for reminding me :-) I feel I must comment

I have found the documentation plus the absolutely fabulous support that I get from 
the forums and mailing list to be far superior to any (so called) commercial support 
that I have had to pay big bucks for in the past (I'd love to mention names but 
shouldn't).

But with something as complex as a J2EE server it really does come down to knowing the 
product as well as you are able to be productive with it. If I have a problem that the 
doco doesn't help with, then I do have the forums and that extra advantage of an open 
source server: I *have* the source and it is great quality and not that hard to follow.

As to loosing 8 hours on what seems like a simple (in hindsight) problem, all I can 
say is '"Welcome to software development". 

It happens. I've been doing this for 25 years and it still happens. Having the source 
at least gives me a fighting chance!
