Chose Red Hat JBoss EAP
We selected JBoss because of compatibility with EJB's. We currently are trying to reduce our footprint and will highly consider using Tomcat.

WebSphere Application Server is propriety and increases project cost. It is slightly complicated to learn when compared to Jboss EAP. These were the two main reasons why we chose Red Hat JBoss EAP over Websphere Application Server.

Chose Red Hat JBoss EAP
We decided to use Red Hat JBoss EAP as it lowers our overall cost, supports all the features that we are looking for including clustering, distributed caching and web services.
JBoss EAP is modular and has cloud-ready architecture.

Chose Red Hat JBoss EAP
JBoss does practically everything Apache Tomcat and Weblogic does in terms of our requirements, but JBoss is more suited for larger enterprise J2EE apps compared to Tomcat. Boot time is not as quick as Tomcat, but still relatively fast for our deployments. The system can also …

It's well-suited for being less bulky and is more manageable than other IBM products for Java applications. It's more scalable and provides broader features than others, and is able to load balance with better visibility. The "containers" within are lighter weight and thus don't consume as many resources as Websphere did.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • JBoss deployment and configuration is easy and fast. This leads to lower cost and faster deliveries.
  • Jboss gives you lot of flexibility around performance tuning options to better suite your application needs.
  • It is modular and cloud ready. This can be installed on-premise and cloud with equal ease.
  • I specifically love it's integration with mod_cluster. It is a smart httpd based load balancing component that listens to incoming requests on web server using httpd and then intelligently routes the request to Jboss hosts.

We are planning to migrate away from Jboss to Tomcat as Jboss has shown not interest in supporting OSGi which is heavily used at our shop

It's quite easy to learn and use. We have transitioned our Red Hat JBoss EAP set up to client team. They had no technical background of managing it but were quick to learn the product.

Return on Investment

  • Improved delivery timelines due to easy out of the box setup.
  • It is a cheap subscription-based/open-source Java EE-based application server. This reduces the overall cost of delivery.
