JBoss Enterprise Application Platform's best features include that it was very simple to install and enabling clustering between two instances was simpler than compared to WebSphere or WebLogic. Clustering became very much easier, and setup was very straightforward. I used other products such as WebSphere and WebLogic, and I saw JBoss Enterprise Application Platform as a very lightweight container rather than a heavy container. The startup time was much faster compared to other application servers, and debugging was reliable. We did not see the application going into a hang state. It never happened in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. Other application servers typically degrade over time, and the application resources can become hung. The memory utilization and the heap garbage collection that was running was very efficient, so the resource utilization was better. The robust security model of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform contributed positively to our data integrity and compliance in our development processes, and it was very good.
