So Tomcat is in the JBoss AS, the JBoss Web Server is basically a wrapper around Tomcat. To deploy your war file you just copy and paste it into the deploy directory of your server.

Yes, but instead of copying your .war into the webapps directory in tomcat, it is the deploy directory in JBoss.

Development is the same, but you might also have a jboss-web.xml to point to a security domain and any other configuration that is JBoss specific.

Only if you want to use a JBoss Security Domain, since it is specific to JBoss it is not part of the J2EE spec which defines the web.xml.

Each vendor has their own vendor specific information that needs to be put into its own xml file.

thanks mark. got my answer.
