I was starting to look into the possibility of working with some Application Servers. In the process I found a comparison over at The Server Side site.

One of my requirements was free. I have worked with an earlier version of Tomcat which worked well, but I was curious about the JBoss (
downloads). It makes mention of an Eclipse Plugin for JBoss that I may look at sometime. This is an application server that deals with the J2EE for high end java development. I still need additional training or tutorials on this since I still am not comfortable enough on J2EE to really take advantage of this. I will probably check out the J2EE 1.4 Tutorial and related items.

More to come..
