JBoss Web provides enterprises with a single, high-performance deployment platform for Java Server Pages (JSP) and Java Servlet technologies, Microsoft ASP.NET, PHP and CGI. It uses an innovative, high-performance hybrid design that incorporates the best open source technologies for processing high-volume data with market-leading support for important Java Enterprise Edition (EE) specifications. This hybrid technology model makes JBoss Web one of the fastest and most scalable Web servers on the market. JBoss Web is built on Apache Tomcat – the de facto standard JSP/Servlet container – and incorporates the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) and a Tomcat native layer to achieve dramatic scalability improvements, including the ability to handle over 10,000 concurrent connections.
