JBoss application server
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JBoss Application Server (or JBoss AS) is a free software/open-source Java EE-based application server. Because it is Java-based, the JBoss application server operates cross-platform: usable on any operating system that Java supports. JBoss AS was developed by JBoss, now a division of Red Hat.

[edit] Versions
JBoss AS 4.0, a Java EE 1.4 application server, features an embedded Apache Tomcat 5.5 servlet container. It supports any Java Virtual Machine between versions 1.4 and 1.5 . JBoss can run on numerous operating systems including many POSIX platforms (like Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X), Microsoft Windows and others, as long as a suitable JVM is present.
JBoss AS 4.2 also functions as a Java EE 1.4 application server, but deploys Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 by default. It requires the Java Development Kit version 5. Tomcat 6 comes bundled with it.
JBoss AS 5.1, the current version as of 2009[update], operates as a Java EE 5 application server. It is a minor update of the major release Jboss AS 5.0, which had been in development for 3+ years and is built on top of a new JBoss microcontainer.[1] Jboss AS 5.1 contains a preview of some elements from the not yet released Java EE 6 specification.

First, a change in our platform strategy, second some new products to implement that strategy. We felt we had to give that strategy a name and 'Open Choice', while unoriginal, best illustrated what we’re doing [...] expanding our support to include Open Source technologies beyond what we’ve typically supported and beyond the JBoss constellation."
