10.1 Introduction
Tomcat, available from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat, is an open
source servlet container and the official reference implementation
for Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. Table 10-1 shows Tomcat versions and the specification
that each version adheres to. All recipes in this chapter assume
Tomcat 4.1.x.

JBoss, available from http://www.jboss.org, is an open
source EJB container. JBoss is extremely specification-compliant,
making it well suited for application-server neutral development.
JBoss also supports hot deploying applications, including web
application WAR files. JBoss is not a servlet container. JBoss can
embed a servlet container, though. For example, you can configure
JBoss to use Tomcat.
