Compared to JOnAS we have a much cleaner architecture which allows a lot
more flexibility. Adding custom functionality is done through the plugin
infrastructure of jBoss, which is very nice to have. On the user point
of view, our easy-to-use hot-deploy features are very nice to have, and
I don't know if anyone (even commercial) does it this easily.
With respect to OpenEJB, the little I have seen of it seems to be along
the same lines as jBoss (which is natural considering that RMH who is
the developer lead was on EJBoss awhile ago), but IMHO jBoss 2.0 is way
ahead in terms of the maturity of the architecture.
With regard to both of these other project I think you will find that
jBoss is very easy to use, and (above all?) has a very strong community
tied to it, which is important in a OpenSource context. Having lots of
people using it will of course increase the level of testing,
suggestions for new cool features, and provide good discussions around
server development. Also, since jBoss i JMX based it is very easy to add
custom functionality to it. The EJB container itself is merely a
JMX-component just as anything else that you might want to add. IMHO
this is a very powerful and useful feature.
Etc. etc. :-)
