JBoss with integrated Tomcat

[bugsbunny]

Hi,

Is it normal production practice to run JBoss with integrated Tomat as a EJB/Servlet combo outside the firewall?

Thanks

I wouldn't think so no?

Then why package JBoss with Tomcat or Jetty? Shouldn't the application server sit behind the firewall separate from the servlet container? Unless, you want JBoss to be in front of the firewall so that the outside world can call the methods inside your EJB container, but that's a huge security risk. Either way I don't get it. Maybe JBoss with integrated Tomcat is only for development purpose?
