With our 3.0 release JBoss pushes the enveloppe on modern Java technology. JBoss today is still the easy to use, standards based EJB container you have learned to love but today we bring the same innovation and spirit to the FULL J2EE standard. All the enterprise APIs are supported in JBoss, from the httpd server to the Java Connector Architecture (JCA) for EAI support and integration. Check out our latest embeddable JBossMX (Java Management eXtension). JBoss can be as small as 30kB, packing just its microkernel, and that is all you need to boot JBoss in netboot fashion, from a centralized webserver. Also learn about our latest CMP2.0 engine developed by Dain Sundstrom, he made us a believer of Container Managed Persistence again. Complete with spec, future spec and beyond the spec features, JBossCMP 2.0 looks like the silver bullet we all wanted persistence in our frameworks to be from the beginning. Finally the clustering you all wanted is here, simple and intuitive as usual in JBoss. So be sure to take the time to discover this latest of the JBoss edition and the documentation that comes with it so as to unlock the power of JBoss for you and your application.
Also remember that if you want to fully leverage the features of JBoss, learn how to fine-tune the server, you can come to one of our training or take consulting with our experts. We sell hyper-efficient consulting that can optimize your understanding and usage of JBoss in development and production. We deliver expert consulting behind our award winning product.

In fact we believe JBoss today is the defacto standard we always knew it would become. As you are probably aware, JBoss recently won the "best appserver" category from java world, beating BEA and IBM. Also we are, according to an independent poll by togethersoft, the most used app server in enterprise development by a wide margin (43%) with BEA a distant second (29%). Finally SUN's Danese Cooper herself admits that "JBoss arguably has the largest market share of application servers claiming to be J2EE compliant, garnering awards and much attention."
JBoss will continue to push the technology and standardize the webapp server infrastructure so that you can continue to use some of the finest code available in the market for free and in an open fashion. We hope you enjoy this latest of our documentation.
Peace, Love and Good Code,
