JBoss is the most powerful free open source Java application server for use with Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). JBoss is cross-platform, so it works on any Java supported operating system.
JBoss won the Java World Editors Choice for Best Application Server in 2002, and has only improved since then.
The benefits of using JBoss include JAAS security, connection pooling, seamless clustering, cashing and persistence. JBoss supports JNDI, JTS/JTA, Tomcat or Jetty Servlet/JSP, JCA and JMS.
JBoss AS 5.0, the latest build, was introduced at JBoss World Orlando 2008 by Dimitris Andreadis. He reviewed the completely revamped JBoss componenets and newest features including Microcontainer blended with OSGi, a deployer architecture, default messaging service, default transaction monitor, console, clustering, and the addition of JBoss Web.”

- pc to mobile media streaming
