<h2>A Open Operating System for the web</h2>
<p><br>
- The field of Enterprise Web Software is going through a complete
redefinition. Developing enterprise web applications, applications that live on
networks and are accessible through browsers is the next wave of computing. All
developers look for the standard enterprise ready platform to start they development.
Microsoft is pushing .NET on microsoft Windows. J2EE, the SUN/IBM defined standard
today offers a working solution across a wide variety of Operating Systems. J2EE is a
standard with industry momentum. jBoss is a J2EE based implementation in Open Source.

<p><b>A Standard webOS with Industry momentum</b><br>
J2EE, defined by SUN microsystem and IBM is defined in an open
industry process. There are today about 30 vendors of J2EE application server.
Enterprise developers will draw on the services provided by J2EE to speed up the
development of their applications. Instead of writing database code or writing pool
management by hand, developers can leverage EJB to store their data automatically.
Instead of dealing manually with transaction, system developers can use the built in
capabilities to run transaction in a distributed fashion. Instead of creating all
business code by hand consultants can assemble "components" to build their
application in a "Lego" fashion. Today J2EE is the dominant platform for web
development, analyst put Microsoft's .NET five years behind J2EE.</p>
<p><b>j2ee APIs </b><br>
- J2EE is a set of standards that, when used together, provide an
excellent web application development and deployment platform. J2EE includes standards
for middleware (EJB and JMS), database connectivitiy (JDBC), transactions (JTA/JTS),
presentation (servlets and Java Server Pages), and directory services (JNDI). jBoss
products implements all these services in Open Source. As one of the leading java Open
Source groups we integrate or develop them for a full J2EE stack.</p>

<p><b>Why Open Source for J2EE?</b><br>
J2EE is infrastructure, in the sense of an operating system. We
believe that any infrastructure software is a natural fit for the new mode of
development spurred by the internet: collaborative development in Open Source. We
chose to open the development and do it with volunteers from around the world. We
believe the information highways, and specifically the reference implementation of
these standard, should be publicly owned. Perhaps the more compelling reason is that
these large infrastructure products grow extremelly large and extremelly complex. Many
commercial settings cannot and do not manage this and more than one star of commercial
development got burned or "broke down". Here at jboss, we have many of these
world stars, and so far not a single nervous break-down ( many flamewars though ) . In
clear we believe that Open Source technology is a credible, efficient and cost
effective way to scale the development of these large systems.<br>

<p><b>2- IT departments/Startups </b><br>
A recent study showed that Java/J2EE is already the dominant platform
for Enterprise Web Software with 60% of IT development being done on it.
"Stand-alone" usage of our container, is the most common use. People will
develop their enterprise web application and run it in their departmental server or
even on the web. We have been chosen, both for development and production, over more
pricey competitors in many instances! We sport features, such as hot deploy and
runtime-generated stub and skeleton objects, that can't be found in most commercial
tools no matter how much you are willing to pay!</p>
<p><b>3- ISP/ASP, the next wave of Enterprise Software Hosting </b><br>
- All ISP providers already offer Web Hosting for static webpages.
Offering more "enterprise level hosting" revolves around hosting a J2EE
platform. Going beyond simple logic and cgi-bin, jBoss was designed in part for ASP
settings. One can just deploy it's applications on a set of hosted machines and have
an web based JMX console to manage the remote servers. Our integration with JSP
engines makes jBoss the candidate of choice for ISP usage. Most J2EE vendors do not
focus on this market, jBoss however is well suited in 2 ways. First the code is
modular so various configurations can be set through administration, in order to fit
every clients specific needs. Second there is no license fee per CPU, so one can grow
a farm of J2EE server at little cost.</p>

<p><b>4- Module and 3rd party developers </b><br>
- Behind jboss Open Source success is a highly modular design. jboss is
built from the ground up around the concept of modules and plug-ins. We use the JMX
(Java Management eXtension) specification to configure and administer the different
plugins. We integrate various modules, from Tomcat to cocobase to offer a state of the
art J2EE container. It enables jBoss to scale J2EE development by modularizing it. By
integrating in J2EE module developers buy themselves access to the dominant market for
application development and increase the deployment of their technology.</p>

<h2>Why should I participate</h2>
<p><br>
- First most people come here to learn cutting edge skills. Many of our
contributors are experts in the field and highly recognized individuals in the
industry. We see many independent software developers in our ranks. If you are a PhD
student you will find jBoss to be a perfect learning tool, many modern high level
concepts of java software design are implemented in our code. Finally, yes, we are
doing the right thing, we strongly believe that J2EE is the mass platform of the
future and we work hard to make it a reality... the information age's infrastructure
wants to be free.
