The latest jBoss release (see jboss.org for download) contains embedded
Tomcat 3.2 integration and support for "java:comp/env" namespace where
you can bind environment entries, resource references, and EJB
references.
We also have a J2EE deployment facility that supports EAR (Enterprise
ARchives) as specifed in the J2EE spec. This allow you to deploy
applications which get hosted by Tomcat and the jBoss EJB container
respectively.
On an implementation note, we solved the "java:comp/" namespace by
switching context based on thread contextclassloader. Because of this we
do not need anything special other than the AdaptiveClassLoader being
set properly on servlet request. Note that "java:/" is *NOT* context
switched but global to the entire JVM. This is where we bind the
transaction manager, connection pools, etc.
We are working on doing Tomcat 4.0 integration as well.
regards,
Rickard, jBoss dev.
