Ok just thought I would update this after doing some research and experimenting.

I installed JRUN and started running through some struts tutorials and came up 
with a couple of reasons not to use JRUN as a J2EE server.  It is great for 
multiple instances of Coldfusion but if you start doing some Java work these 
are the problems I found.

It does not support JSP 2
It does not support JSTL 1.1

In fact I have had many problems working with JST taglibs.

There are not many tutorials out there, that I could find, for people beginning 
on J2EE application development linked with JRUN.

The forums are bare.  If you go to Adobe forums there are either no current 
topics or just one page of topics.

And it sounds like Adobe is not that interested in the product.  If you go 
through some of the forums many answers from Adobe are that this is a known bug 
that will not be fixed in the near future.

So because it is free and there are loads of tutorials and it supports all the 
latest technologies I am going for JBOSS.

Just thought I would have my rant, sorry if I have offended or upset anyone, 
not meaning too.

thanks for reading.
cheers
Martin
