Dell-JBoss Demo

The DVD Store demo application was built to highlight the Dell PowerEdge 1855 blade server as an excellent JBoss Certified platform for deploying scalable applications. The DVD Store uses JavaServer Faces for its web-based front end, EJB3 for its business logic and data access, and MySQL as its database. The application supports such features as secure sign-on, shopping cart persistence, clustering, failover, and internationalization. Click here to see the demo.

JBoss on Dell Datasheet

JBoss Application Server (JBoss AS) is a standards-based Java platform for scalable enterprise applications. The Dell™ PowerEdge™ 1855 blade server can provide a cost-effective system for hosting scaled-out applications on the JBoss AS platform. To demonstrate the ease of migrating applications to this platform, a team of engineers from Dell and JBoss ported a Web application to JBoss AS on a PowerEdge 1855.
