Depends on what you mean by resource consumption? In the case you cited, you mentioned memory.
Ok, in this case, where we seem to already be committed to HATS and therefore some sort of Websphere footprint. Which would take more memory: 1. Run full blown Websphere, and in it, include HATS plus in house developed applications. 2. Run the striped down HATS/Websphere product, and run in house developed applications under Jboss. In case 1, I'm only running 1 Java platform. In case 2, I'm running 2 Java platforms. I think I would be using less storage with case 1. But...there may be rules and licensing and.... that are against use running HATS in anything but in the provided Websphere runtime product. If that is the case, then case 2 might take less memory. I need to get back to it. Back in the Spring, I was getting ready for a Websphere trial in which I had intended to bring up the HATS trial. That would answer many of my questions. And then I can also bring up Jboss. But then, my time, is also a chargeable resource <G>. But going back to the original question...I take it that you don't believe that, other than memory footprint, that there are any Jboss applications that can't run under Websphere? I know that Java is suppose to be Java. And C is suppose to be C. And Cobol was suppose to be Cobol. But if you have a Jboss application that has support, is the application only supported on a Jboss platform? Do the developers in the Java world, even care, what platform you are on? I get the feeling that whatever road we take, it will be the wrong one <G>. But we got to start down a path....soon.

Do you consider resource consumption "a cost issue" ? Websphere tends to need more resources than JBoss, in my admittedly anecdotal experience. If "cost" extends to "well, we can add some more storage to the box" then that isn't a problem.
