Hi,

JBoss can run with or without a web container. Even if it does run with
a container it does not mean that external web container have access to
it. You can mix and match, but I would say that using JBoss with web
container is the cleanest, and it also does hot deploy web apps. For
scalability I use about 15 external web containers talking to the same
JBoss.

So, a long story short, It is up to you how you want to run JBoss and
your web containers.


Regards


Viv

That was one thing I was afraid of.

I just looked at the FAQ and it stated that I can run an external EJB
container.  Is there an OSS EJB container that is not a full J2EE
server?  Should I run Tomcat and JBOSS together?  Eventually switching
to JBOSS?

I have some agents I need to create that I would like my servlets to be
able to communicate with.
