Tomcat7 and jboss7 which one is better and why

[jaikiran]

Arvind, welcome to the forums!

Questions like these are very vague and difficult to answer. Each server has its own set of features. It ultimately depends on the requirements of your application and the finer details about the technologies involved in your application.

Thanks for the your quick response...

Right now i am working with jboss 4.2.2GA application servers..everything is fine with this.

But know when we are planing to upgrade the jboss servers for our server. first question rise in mind why we go for jboss 7??  its better from tomcat 7?? main diffrence bw jboss 4.2.2 and 7.1 final??

Hi,

if you put your question like this it is easier to answer

First difference between Jboss x.x vs Tomcat x.x (general comparison)

Jboss As is application server that implements whole JEE standard which is made from big set of specifications.

for full read what this versions are take a look at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/tech/index.html

Between this specifications (JSRs) there is also servlet specification which is the only thing Tomcat implements.

so in general, tomcat implements only one of JEE JSR's (servlets) where jboss implements all of them.

The difference between JBoss 4.x and Jboss 7 from users point of view is the version of JEE standard it implements

Jboss 4.0.x implements JEE4 (4.2.x partly implements EE5) where Jboss 7.1 implement JEE6 full profile

So basically if you need anything more than just servlets and jsp's it would it is a good choice to go with 7.1

and given that 7.1 boots faster than tomcat even with much more functionality I think it is a no brainier

hope this answers your questions.

3 Jdk 1.5.0

4 MySql 4.x.x

So here question is that i need to be upgrade anything mention above for jboss 7.1

[jbertram]

You will definitely need JDK 1.6.  I can't speak to the rest of those, though.

I'm not sure what exactly you meant. But Justin did answer your question about the Java version. You asked whether you would have to upgrade from Java 5 and Justin answered in the affirmitive since AS7 requires Java 6. And that qualifies as a "suitable answer".

As for the version of MySQL to use - As long as you have a JDBC driver (jar) for that which can run in a Java 6 runtime, you should be able to use it against AS7. There's no direct dependency between any database server and AS7.

Thanks Jaikiran ,

Thanks for your response.

There's no direct dependency between any database server and AS7.

Is there any dependency problem b/w Apache 2.0.x and AS7.

[kiranteja]

Definitely not. There is no dependency issues with apache and jboss 7

[ctomc]

Hi,

As guys already said there are no compatibily/dependancy issues between any stack you mentioned beyond that you need java6 to run jboss7.

but in any case it would be wise to upgrade apache to version 2.2.x or 2.4.x but from performance / security point of view
