As I am starting a new project, I am unsure whether to use Tomcat/Axis or
the Jboss product line. Any idea? 

As you can see in the following images, I am about to build a distributed
system with one job manager and several job handlers. Each node may be on a
different server. 
The job manager has a web interface where a user can enter a command which
is then passed to one of the n job handlers via SOAP message. 
The job handler then reads mails, web sites and other documents (which may
take up to several hours). 
Once the job is completed, the job handler contacts the job dispatcher and
submits the results of the performed queries. 
That's all. No heavy duty DB stuff, just distributed data processing. 
DBMS are only for log files and such. 

What are the advantages of a Tomcat/Axis/WAR approach rather than Jboss? (In
terms of speed of development, tool support, framework support, reliability,
scalability...)

Thanks a lot!
