Bottom Line: If you need to use EJB's and want an open source application server the JBoss/Tomcat bundle works.
I am currently using the JBoss/Tomcat Bundle and am having success. As noted below JBoss is only required if you are going use EJB's. If there are no EJB'S you will not require JBoss. I have created many EJB's and have had very little difficulty getting them to work on JBoss. Tomcat is... well it is Tomcat and it works just fine. I have several books on JBoss but none that I'd recommend. If anyone out there has a recommendation for a good JBoss book I'd be interested. Please note that deploying the EJB's on JBoss was a fairly easy operation. (At least it was in my case). I hope this helps and good luck on your project!

In simple terms, think of Tomcat as your servlet container and JBoss as your EJB container.

I am currently reading some docs on JBoss, but I don't have a clear understanding of it yet. I currently use Tomcat as my app server. Does it run over Tomcat? Can anyone recommend some good documentation on what exactly JBoss is? A1C Adam G Horky Application Development Programmer, SCBE (618)256-2300
