Well, for one J2EE isn't an application server. Sun does provide
application servers, but they are expensive.
JBoss is free and will soon be compliant with J2EE 1.4. You have to pay
for decent documentation, but it is widely considered the best 'free'
application server.
I'm new to this as well, but find TheServerSide.com quite good for this
sort of question.

Minor correction: the latest offering of Sun's appserver is free (as in no
cost), even for deployment.

Thanks Chris, how good do you think it is? I was planning on using
JBoss, but since this is 1.4 compliant I think I'll go for this.

Jonas is also a good application application server. Its latest realease
is also J2EE 1.4 Compatible and it's also free (even the documentation
which is much better than the JBoss one).
Though, since it is newer than JBoss, its user base is smaller than the
one of JBoss which means there is less information available about
Jonas on the web.
