JBoss is a full J2EE server which offers all the J2EE services (and one of those things being tomcat)

This might seem like an embarrassing question (or a poor post for the Tomcat-user list), but why would a developer want to download JBoss with Tomcat bundled instead of Tomcat alone?
Does the Jakarta project have a competing open-source appsever product?
I understand why someone would need an application server for Apache, but isn't Tomcat prepared to track sessions, manage DB connection objects with JDBC, etc? Does JBoss provide standard code for "Shopping Carts"? What does it offer that Tomcat does not?
I'm sure there is a good reason for App Servers. If someone can clue me in as to the limits of Tomcat and the common uses of an App Server, I would appreciate it.
The only decent Documentation for JBoss is for sale. Their site was not very informative. I don't know if I trust their POV anyway.
In the mealtime, I've got the JBoss installer tar to try out and no manual.
