I like Bitnami and I am a big fan. However, when deploying Jboss, Glassfish and Tomcat application servers from Bitnami onto AWS, I have found that you need to configure the application server specs based on the specs of your host EC2 -- I ended up creating custom images for each type of EC2 in my inventory for these application servers.

Hi Manish,

Our images do change some configuration options based on the type of instance that we detect on boot. It would be great if you could get in touch with us at hello@bitnami.com and let us know the details of what you had to configure manually, so that we can improve this.

Slightly OT but I'm curious: do you like jboss and glassfish? I've used both pretty extensively, and am not a big fan of either one. Could have been user error though, not application error.

Like may be too strong a word to use. But if you are doing EJB and MDBs, then they both are the only options , unless you go the weblogic/websphere route. I would not touch either with a 20 foot pole for a non-ejb application with no session replication requirements.
