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 is 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. Any Java Virtual Machine between versions 1.4 and 1.5 are supported. 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 is bundled with it.
JBoss AS 5.1, the current version as of 2009[update], is 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."
