- <p>The extreme size and complexity of this sort of operating system

- <td class="newsbody"><b>1- Independent software vendors</b><br>
- Two years ago, many Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) developing
- Enterprise applications took the Java route. ISVs would develop,
in-house
- proprietary infrastructure software for lack of a defined, open
standard.
- This development is time-consuming, expensive and complex. Today most
- ISVs outsource that infrastructure development to a J2EE server vendor
- in order to focus on "business logic." Choosing an open source server
- makes sense from a pricing standpoint because the application price
- won�t reflect the infrastructure cost. It also makes sense from a
- technological standpoint because you have access to the code, which
- makes for a tighter integration with your applications. According
- to our statistics, about 20% of people who download JBoss do so with
- the objective of embedding it in their applications. <br>
- <p><b>2- IT departments/Startups </b><br>
- A recent study showed that Java/J2EE, which claims 60% of IT
development,
- is already the dominant platform for Enterprise Web Software. Most
- people use our container as a stand-alone web application server.
- In many instances, we have been chosen over more pricey competitors
- for both development and production. We sport features, such as
- hot deploy and runtime-generated stub and skeleton objects
(distributed
- invocation enablers), that can't be found in most commercial tools

- <p><b>3- ISP/ASP, the next wave of Enterprise Software Hosting </b><br>
- Most ISP providers already offer Web Hosting for static web pages.
- For more "enterprise level hosting," you need a J2EE platform. Going
- beyond simple logic and cgi-bin, JBoss was designed for Application
- Service Provider (ASP) settings. One can deploy its applications
- on a set of hosted machines and have a web-based Java Management
- Extension (JMX) console to manage the remote servers. Our integration
- with Java Server Page (JSP) engines makes JBoss the candidate of
- choice for ISP usage. While most J2EE vendors do not focus on this
- market, Jboss is well suited for it in two ways. First, the code
- is modular so you can administer various configurations, in order
- to fit every client�s specific needs. Second, there is no license
- fee per CPU, so you can grow a J2EE server farm at little cost.
- <p><b>4- Module and 3rd party developers</b><br>
- Behind JBoss� Open Source success is a highly modular design, which
- allows us to scale development and integrate code. From the ground
- up, JBoss is built around the concept of modules and plug-ins. We
- use the JMX specification to configure and administer the different
- plug-ins. We integrate various modules, from Tomcat to cocobase,
- to offer a state-of-the-art J2EE container. By integrating in JBoss,
- developers gain access to the dominant application development market
- and increase the deployment potential for their technology.

+ <p><b>Interceptors externalized:</b> In the great modular tradition
+ of JBoss, Scott Stark commits code that fully externalizes the
interceptor

+ beans will see "a la carte". In keeping with the "ease of use"
tradition

+ Developers Journal</a>, <i> "how long can a group like JBoss go
+ on without some nontechnical assistance? A large-scale project like
+ this will eventually begin to have some large-scale needs. In the
+ spirit of the Linux and Apache projects, I believe that a project
+ of JBoss' magnitude is a natural fit for large-scale financial
support."
+ </i> Folks complain about the lack of developer follow-up and other
+ problems, current core coders respond "we are swamped". Today JBoss
+ is an exploding group and it needs financing.
