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). - -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. - -WWW: http://www.jboss.org/ |
