Tomcat is actually the servlet container used with JBoss so you're using Tomcat even when you use JBoss

It really depends on your usage scenario, if you are just running the web app then Tomcat is more lightweight and faster to startup, so you could argue that is better.

However, if you want to use the portlet version of the app then you have to use JBoss (or any other JSR168 compliant portal server) as Tomcat does not support portals.

Hope that helps.

I did ask this question, but alfresco is not Portlet apps, it just a version that can run alfresco in the portlet, see the demo is not integrate.

you can see, there is not login portlet etc.

right now, i use in jboss same like i use in tomcat.
