Skyway applications are deployed through an ear file since all Skyway applications are deployed as true n-tiered solutions. Tomcat is actually included with JBoss as its web server of choice and is fully supported. The Skyway Visual Perspectives significantly simplifies application deployment through Skyway Builder, which enables you to select/model/configure your runtime environment (application server and DBMS). The platform provides the ability to either completely automate the deployment process or nearly automate (meaning it will generate and package the runtime application for the Operations Team to use). Note that since you are using models to develop, you select the application server (e.g., WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss, etc.) and the DBMS for a specific technical environment (e.g., Integration Test, UAT, Performance Test, Production, etc.) at the point in time in which you are ready to deploy through Skyway Builder.
