JBoss actually runs Tomcat under the covers as its JSP/Servlet container,
and it's very nicely integrated.  And it's open source, so the price is
right.  Copy your WAR files to JBoss' /server/default/deploy directory, and
JBoss will hot-deploy them for you -- very nice.

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.
