Introduction of JBOSS

JBoss is an Open Source, standards-compliant, J2EE application server implemented in 100% Pure Java. The JBoss/Server and complement of products are delivered under a public license. With a huge amount of downloads per month, JBoss is the most downloaded J2EE based server in the industry.

Features of JBoss

Clustering 

A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely so that in many respects they form a single computer. Clusters are usually deployed to improve performance and/or availability over that provided by a single computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers of comparable speed or availability.

Load Balancing 

JBoss AS balances the load of the incoming request either by adding the new hardware or installing the software load balancer e.g- mod_jk.

Caching

JBoss AS provides a temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access. Once the data is stored in the cache, it can be used in the future by accessing the cached copy rather than re-fetching or recomputing the original data

Failover 

If one server goes down, control is passed to the other server. To maintain the session Heartbeat software is configured in JBoss AS.

Aspect-Oriented  Programming (AOP) support

JBoss AS supports Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) which is a programming paradigm that increases modularity by allowing cross-cutting concerns, separation of forming a basis for aspect-oriented software development.

Enterprise Java Beans

JBoss supports Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), which is a managed, server-side component architecture for modular construction of enterprise applications.

JNDI (Java Naming Directory Interface)

JBoss supports the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI), which is part of the Java platform, providing applications based on Java technology with a unified interface to multiple naming and directory services. Powerful and portable directory-enabled applications can be built using this industry standard.
