We need a Comparison of J2EE application servers. We are am mainly interested in comparing Jboss v4 to Websphere v6 to Weblogic v8 to Apache/Tomcat concentrating mainly on Linux based OS.
We envision a 5 page report (Single spaced, 12 PT), where 2 pages outlines the benefits and overview of JBOSS, 2 pages comparison of the above solutions including market share, etc, and 1 page matrix of benefits and important considerations.
It would be sufficient to get access to a late 2004 or 2005 report done by the following market research firm: Forrester, Giga, Yankee Group, Jupiter Communications and Gartner Group (report must contain at least jboss and a comparison).
