I have a java with spring web app (war), I will not use any jee features that don't run on tomcat. I already call and expose webservices, but I do it with bundled cxf.

Currently I am using tomcat7.

  • Is Jboss better for administration than tomcat ?
  • Does Jboss provide more statistics/metrics ? (tomcat provides almost none).
  • Does jboss provide any resources (processor, memory, number of open files) usage monitoring or graphs ?
  • Maybe instead tomcat and jboss You would recommend some other open source application server good for monitoring and administration

Tomact7 is still way to go in your case. Web part of Jboss is exposed through tomcat anyway, so for one spring app it is definitely a huge overkill and learning curve to learn jboss and host it on jboss, jboss doesn't really add any additional resources in that case in the nutshell, if you had a webfarm of apps then that where jboss comes in handy, as it is easier to do clustering and administer resources within apps. Instead of using tomcat I would probably suggested to try and use heroku which is quite straight forward.

Hope this helps.
