In this it -is similar to Sun's 'J2SDK Enterprise Edition' (J2EE), but the JBoss core -server provides only an EJB server. The JBoss core does not include a web -container for servlets/JSP pages, although there are bundles available that -include either Tomcat or Jetty. The minimal core offering means that JBoss -has minimal memory and disk space requirements. JBoss will run very -effectively on a machine with 64 megabytes of RAM, and requires only a few -megabytes of disk (including source code!). Sun's J2EE requires a minimum of -128 megabytes of RAM, and 31 megabytes of disk space. Because of its small -memory footprint, JBoss starts up about 10 times faster than J2EE. There is -a built-in SQL database server for handling persistent beans, and this -starts up automatically with the server (J2EE ships with the CloudScape SQL -server, which has to be started separately). +JBoss AS 4 is an officially certified J2EE 1.4 application server. The +certification guarantees that JBoss AS 4 conforms to the formal J2EE +specification. -One of the nicest features of JBoss is its support for `hot' deployment. What -this means is that deploying a Bean is a simple as copying its JAR file into -the deployment directory. If this is done while the Bean is already loaded, -JBoss automatically unloads it, then loads the new version. Contrast this -with the rigmarole that other J2EE server makes us go through... JBoss is -distributed under the LGPL, which means that it's free, even for commercial -work, and the LGPL ensures that it remains that way. +- supports J2EE Web Services including JAX-RPC (Java API for XML for +Remote Procedure Call) and the Web Services for J2EE Architecture. + +- implements the JMS (Java Messaging Service) 1.1 specification. + +- implements the JCA (Java Connector Architecture) 1.5 specification. +The JCA 1.5 specification adds support for the life cycle management of +resource adapters, worker thread management as well as transaction and +message inflow from the resource adapter to the application server. + +- implements the Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) +specification. JACC is a Java 2 permission-based mechanism for +externalizing the authorization decision for accessing EJB methods and +web resources. + +- implements the EJB 2.1 specification. The EJB 2.1 specification +extends the message-driven bean contracts to support other messaging +types in addition to JMS. It supports stateless session beans as web +service endpoints. It also includes a new container managed service +called the EJB timer service. WWW: http://www.jboss.org/ >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
