I second the Weblogic/Oracle route. JBoss does many of the same things as Weblogic, but BEA is trying to move Weblogic into a more "business application server" instead of just a plain ol' application server like JBoss is (take a look at Weblogic Integrator to see this in action). The Weblogic Integrator tool is pretty cool, but very expensive.
