I have been using Tomcat for an extra-curricular (contract) job that I have
had for the past 6 months. I am just at the point of integrating in jBoss
(good timing, huh?). I have been playin with jBoss on and off for about
the last 5 months and am impressed with the ease of deployment during the
dev cycle. The lack of docs has not stopped me from successfully deploying
a couple entity beans and calling them, inVM, from Tomcat.
My extranet application will serve my customer's 30-100 customers (growth
permitting). Everything I've seen about jBoss indicates that it is up to
the task. Hopefully Tomcat is also, although I can probably swap to another
servlet/jsp engine if I have to.
I would NEVER have been able to sell this company on a $20,000+ enterprise
web app server. I would be doing this in ASP if it came to that.
Thankfully, it doesn't come to that.
I use a monolithic app server for my full time dev day job. This app server
provides its own page editor and data managment functionality. Its promise
of a RAD like environment enticed me, but I now find that same functionality
constraining. IOW, I am sick to death of the limitations of "page" editor,
and underwhelmed with the advanced data handling.
I am finding the jBoss+tomcat combo much more fun, expressive and powerful.
This is my first experience with open source and it has been a good one so
far. The support for jBoss on the mailing lists is better than my extremely
expensive paid support for the other product. And when the responses don't
come quick enough, I fire up my debugger!
