Nah, tomcat is just the servlet/jsp runner (and http server
if you want it).  jboss is a full j2ee implementation,
which includes a servlet/jsp runner (either tomcat or
jetty).

The actual difference is that j2ee has mind-boggling amounts
of libraries that once you understand and can write to
and you get stuff like load-balancing and scalability for
free.  (If you count the brain imploding chore of reading
the j2ee docs as 'free')
