Thanks again for the reply, Tim. As you can tell, I am a little confused although it's becoming somewhat more clear.

This might be the source of my confusion: I was under the impression that JMS, EJBs, etc. were supplied by the J2EE SDK. If so, what does JBoss give me on top of that SDK? Let's take JMS as an example: I remember compiling and running Java Messenger Service code examples as stand alone Java programs (without JBoss). I just assumed that I was able and expected to write servlets to make use of the robust JMS Development Kit. Was I wrong? If not, then what exactly would JBoss offer on top of the J2EE SDK and Tomcat? Does JBoss (WebShere, BEA Weblogic) offer some kind of JMS Servlet libraries on top of the already robust J2EE sdk? Do they simply give persistence? I can't seem to find a direct answer to that question. > There is an apache project called Geronimo but it is in its > infancy (i think). I can imagine that the existence of JBoss would steal some of Geronimo's thunder despite the cool project name.
