That's the point, I have no idea why I would want JBoss, and I would like to know. I don't think i will need it for any project now - tomcat does everything I need. But maybe some day I start a project using tomcat when I should use something like JBoss, I just don't have any idea of what it is. I think I need a begginer's guide to J2EE? To EJB? JMS? JTA?
