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') Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
