Installing and Configuring JBoss
The most recent release of JBoss is available from the JBoss downloads page, http://www.jboss.org/products/jbossas/downloads. After you have downloaded the version you want to install, use the JDK jar tool (or any other ZIP extraction tool) to extract the jboss-4.0.4.zip archive contents into a location of your choice. It does not matter where on your system you install JBoss.
Note, however, that installing JBoss into a directory that has a name that contains spaces causes problems in some situations with Sun-based VMs. This is caused by bugs with file URLs not correctly escaping the spaces in the resulting URL. The jboss-4.0.4.tgz archive is a gzipped tar file that requires a gnutar-compatible tar program that can handle the long pathnames in the archive. The default tar binaries on Solaris and OS X do not currently support the long pathnames.
JBoss also provides a GUI installer that can simplify the installation process. In addition to the basic installation, the installer allows you to select the which services are installed secure the JBoss management applications. Using a custom JBoss install created by the installer can greatly simplify the installation and configuration of JBoss.
The most recent release of JBoss GUI installer is available from the JBoss downloads page, http://www.jboss.org/jemsinstaller/downloads/
Its a executable JAR file named jboss-4.0.4-installer.jar
Create an environment variable called JBOSS_HOME that points to the home directory of jboss.
Steps to Installing JBoss Through Jems

change directory to the location that you installed JBoss
change directory to the bin directory
execute either the run.sh or run.bat
congratulations, you are running the default configuration!
