At that point, they pissed off the developer community pretty badly and many switched to BEA WebLogic.
The answer’s rather subtle, and it’s all about the difference between protocol (how computers talk to each other) and content (what they exchange using that protocol).
Both Glassfish & JBOSS are full fledged JEE servers other than the TOMCAT which is merely an HTTP server and Java servlet container. Now out of these two servers GlassFish and JBoss, the selection of an application server is a strategic business decision.
Choosing between JBoss & Tomcat when developing online Java applications can be a challenge. We discuss when JBoss & Tomcat are the right choice and why
