The JBoss Enterprise Web Platform ships with two server profiles. The default startup profile is default.

The default profile is not intended for production use or for the running of load, stress, availability or performance tests. It is the most commonly used profile for application developers. It supports the standard Java EE 5.0 programming APIs (for example, Annotations, JPA, and EJB3). It does not include the JAXR service, the IIOP service, or any of the clustering services.

The production profile has the features of the default profile with additional clustering support and enterprise extensions. It is optimized for production environments.

You can choose which configuration to start by passing the -c parameter to the server startup script. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for further information.
