3.3. Installing Enterprise Web Server from RPM Packages
RPM installation integrates the JBoss Enterprise Web Server with the system and Tomcat and HTTP Server are installed as system services (you can run them as services from the command line).
Before installing JBoss Enterprise Web Server from RPMs, make sure the required packages and a supported Java is installed (refer to Procedure 3.2, “Installing Required Packages” and Procedure 3.1, “Installing Java”). Also ensure the system is registered with Red Hat Network and subscribed to the appropriate JBoss Enterprise Web Server channels (refer to Procedure 3.14, “Subscribing to Red Hat Network Enterprise Channels”).

JBoss Enterprise Web Server components are distributed in RPM packages for individual Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions.
