Differences between JBoss Web 3 and Tomcat 7

[deruelle_jean]

Hi all,

We, Mobicents, are building our SIP Servlets implementation on top of both Tomcat and JBoss and the Java code base for JBoss 2.x and Tomcat 6.x was very close. I was wondering if that was still the case for JBoss Web 3 and Tomcat 7, please note that I care only about the Java code not the native one here and mostly the extensions points. Service, Engine, Host, Context, Manager

Thanks in advance

Best regards

The big difference is that the Servlet-3.0 implementation as well as the Comet one is JBoss specific.

Additionally JBoss Web 3 is a reduced web profile of AS6.

The Service, Engine, Host, Context, Manager have not changed a lot so probably your Tomcat 6 code could be ported easily.

SIP Servlets spec is still based on Servlet 2.5 but I intend to start extending the current Spec to have it benefit from 3.0, so I'll check if that could become a maintenance headache to support both.

Thanks
