These are just business reasons guys. Unfortunately I can somewhat get into
the twisted mind of a CIO so please don't flame me or anything...
1) It has zero monetary cost (but of course, contributions are more than
welcome)
2) It is open source, meaning that is something is broke you don't have to
wait around for someone else to fix it. I would stress to your boss,
especially if they have used software from a certain vendor out of Seattle,
that the days of waiting for 6 months for the vendor to even admit that
there is a bug then taking a while to decide to fix it or not (usually not,
and if so the fix takes a while and causes more bugs) would be over.
3) A large support base of highly technical, driven professionals
4) Complete standards compliance (most commercial vendors can't even say
that) in 100% pure Java (i.e., completely portable, integratable with other
java products, etc...)
5) Special integration with Apache/Tomcat
6) Cutting edge. This helps when recruiting new talent because no good
programmer wants to work with crap software or in crap programming
languages. This also helps retention.
Hope this helps...
Frank

Jim, this reason will work on me. It's logical and it's testable, with an
immediate benefit.
It will NOT work on a corporate decision-maker who wouldn't know a desirable
EJB feature if it fell on his head.
What are the compelling business cases, guys? Or, to put it another way,
where's the money? I've thought of quite a few, but I won't list them yet
because I don't want to blind you to your own insights.

I'll suggest another reason to use jBoss right now. With an inexpensive
add-in (check out http://www.mvcsoft.com), you can start codeing in EJB 2.0
