I recently had some interest from a prospective employer who were looking for someone with JBoss and Tomcat experience. Having had extensive use of these systems in my previous role, I figured I would write a quick howto to get people up and running with JBoss in a short time period. Jboss AS (application server) is an open source Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) based application server, similar to Goldfish. As it is Java based, it runs on multiple platforms and architectures. Jboss features clustering, fail over, load balancing, distributed deployment, deployment API, management API and much more so its a very versatile platform for serving up your applications.
