What are the advantages of Jboss compared to Glassfish

[eurokey]

Hi let me first explain I don't want to start a flamewar i just want to know what Server ist best for me.

I developed a little Enterprise Application (War & EJB Container) and compered Glassfish & Jboss on my Machine.

The Application works well on both Server but there were huge difference on
Resource consumption.

Glassfish started more then 2 times faster.
Glassfish needs 170MB Disc Space JBoss 390MB
Glassfish took 150MB RAM after the start JBoss 390MB.

So i ask you why this big differnce? And why sould I use JBoss instead if Glassfish. I mean if there are advantages it could make sense.

So nobody knows an advantage of JBoss in the JBoss forum?

I guess no answer is an answer too in this case ;-)

Hi,

the problem might be that a lot of users don't know both (I don't know Glassfish, too ;-) ).

Best regards

That's exactly one of the reason why i usually don't participate in similar threads.

You will find many who will favour JBoss and many others who will favour Glassfish and each server has its own list of advantages and shortcomings. The bottom line is - always use the software which you feel is right for accomplishing your task :)
