[JBoss-user] JBoss Basic Questions

[Crothers.Dean <Dean.Crothers@IGT.com>]

Hi,

we are in the process of evaluating whether we should migrate from out
'home-grown' RMI based server to an EJB compliant app server. So with this
is mind, I have a couple of basic questions:

1) with JBoss can you have Swing based clients (application based not
applets) - or is the prefered solution browser based clients using JSP and
servets? The idea being to use WebStart for deployment and upgrades of the
java based clients.

2) management is concerned that JBoss could be bought out by another company
and subsumed into their product line - is this a valid concern?

3) is the JBoss/ZOAP module is released?

4) is the JBossMQ module released? And can you have C or C++ based clients
that can interface with the JBossMQ product, or are you restricted to Java
based clients only?

5) the JBoss training link on the website goes nowhere, is there anywhere
else that I can find out this information?

thanks in advance!
