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 …

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
Likelihood to Recommend
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
  • 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.

Cons
  • Difficult to replicate configuration outside of a container environment
  • Still requires quite a bit of knowledge of the CLI
  • Integration with deployment tools requires CLI knowledge

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.
