I have not used JBoss myself but had a look at it's documentation some time 
ago and if I understand it correctly JBoss is an EJB container and does not 
include the other features of J2EE that are available with Tomcat.

I.e. you need Tomcat and if you want also EJB support you can have that 
with JBoss. Tomcat does not support EJB's.
