Mobile devices like smart phones and tablets are rapidly becoming the primary web client for many users. With this comes new requirements to support the vast number of devices, operating systems, resolutions, and features available.

7 reasons to love JBoss Application Server 7

Daniel Allen, Red Hat

2011-06-21 | 04:45 PM - 06:00 PM

This session dispels a long-standing misconception that Java EE application servers are inherently slow. JBoss Application Server 7 is slated to include more features than ever before and offer up to a 10-fold reduction in startup time and memory consumption over the previous generation. We believe it will be everything you've wanted in an application server: fast startup, lightweight footprint, modular down to the core, consistent administration and multi-server management mode. Under all that is a server powered by first class components developed in the JBoss Community (JBoss Modules, Weld, Infinispan, HornetQ, etc).
