Do you need to make a good decision on what Java EE application server to use for your organization? Sure, and there are a lot of choices out their. I have used Java application servers for years my self, and total there are actually about 9 different JEE application servers on the market that I know of. Open-source Java EE servers are used as much as the commercial counterparts and I believe the only advantage of going commercial is that you may get better security that way. Though certain commercial JEE servers have proprietary features which are valuable, the same can be said of open-source available features.

Isn't Jboss the only choice really?
Glassfish is from Sun (nuf said), Geronimo is used by nobody and all the others cost money.

At least, that seems to be the popular opinion. For Myself, I never really understood the hate against Glassfish being from Sun. It's fully open source and they innovate a lot.
