JBoss is a collaborative effort of a worldwide group of developers to create an open source application server based on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE). With more than six million downloads in the last four years, JBoss is the leading J2EE application server.

JBoss implements the full J2EE stack of services:

• Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)

• Java Persistence

• Java Message Service (JMS)

• Java Transaction Service/Java Transaction API (JTS/JTA)

• Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP)

It also provides advanced features such as clustering, JMX, web services, and Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) integration.
