JBoss Application Server (or '''JBoss AS''') is a Free Software / Open Source Java EE -based Application Server . Because it is Java -based, JBoss AS is cross-platform, usable on any operating system that supports Java.


ENVIRONMENT

JBoss AS 4.0 is a J2EE 1.4 application server, with embedded Tomcat 5.5. Any JVM between 1.4 and 1.5 is supported. JBoss can run on numerous operating systems including Windows , many POSIX platforms, and others, as long as a suitable JVM is present.

JBoss AS 4.2 is also a J2EE 1.4 application server, but EJB 3 is deployed by default. It requires JDK 5. Tomcat 6 is bundled with it.

Next JBoss AS 5 will be Java EE 5 application server.


DEVELOPMENT STATUS

JBoss has a very active developer community. Although an open-source project, Red Hat funds a lot of the developer effort by contracting the key developers in relevant areas.
