2.2. Architecture
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is a JBoss product based on the JBoss Enterprise Application Server with the following additional components:
- JBoss HTTP Connector for load balancing
- Picketlink framework for identity management
- RESTEasy framework for RESTful web services
- Seam framework for development of web application
The heart of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is the JBoss Enterprise Application Server, which is a consolidated JBoss Application Server. Figure 2.1, “Components” contains a schema of the JBoss Enterprise Application Server and its components. The entire JBoss Enterprise Application Server rests on a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to allow the execution of the Java code.

- Component Deployers
- cover the loading of the deployed resources.
- Enterprise Services
- include all services of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
