jBoss Pros
 - revolutionary architecture (sorry it sounds corny - only thing I could think of to 
explain the architecture)
 - simple deploy / hot deploy
 - large developer base
 - solid vision

jBoss Cons
 - still an early release product - version 2.0 is because of the dramatic change in 
architecture, not because it is a mature product
 - not all of the bean types are supported and stable yet

Jonas Pros
 - seems more feature-full in the short-term
 - simple to install and configure
 - transactional support is more mature

Jonas Cons
 - small developer base
 - vision driven by parent company - may not support your needs
 - our installation didn't scale - had a _lot_ of COMMIT_ONE_PHASE errors when we 
loaded up the server

My opinion would be to use Jonas in the short-term if you need to get an environment 
running to start development.  Keep an eye on jBoss and Project Game Over for a real 
solution in the next few months.

Subject: Jboss or JOnAs - which is better


I understand the two most popular open source EJB servers for Tomcat  are
Jboss and JOnAs.    Does anyone know the pros and cons of one over the
other?

As always - thanks for your help!
