[chaitanya karthikk]

hi evereybody, i am chaitanya. i have a doubt.

I have developed an application using IBM websphere application server. my doubt is that can i sell my application?
can i distribute the server to the client?
Is websphere a freeware?
if not how much does it costs for licensing?
should both the client and developer must buy the server?
or there are any free servers? if so please give me those links.

Tomcat/JBoss are free, you could use them.

thank you sir for your immediate reply.
sir, i dont have any idea about jboss and where can i find jboss sir? and how to deploy my war file and xml file in jboss.

apache.org will give you your Tomcat server, and JBoss.org will give you JBoss.

The documentation for JBoss is fairly straight forward. Take a look at it.

I think the licensing on the Community Edition of WebSphere is fairly lax. You might want to check that out.
