+App Service aims to provide robust support for Java. To cover the depth and breadth of 
+Java applications, App Service supports the Java Standard Edition (SE), Tomcat, and 
+JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) technology stacks. At the base of these 
+stacks, App Service supports all recent Java long-term support (LTS) versions. There are 
+several key scenarios for which you should consider adopting App Service for your Java 
+applications.
+
+### Java SE on App Service
+Java SE on App Service allows you to effortlessly deploy your applications to fully 
+managed Java Virtual Machine (JVM) instances. You should consider this stack if you 
+have Spring Boot and Quarkus web applications. However, you can use this stack for any 
+application that can be started directly from a JVM and includes an embedded 
+HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. You can deploy your 
+Java archive (JAR) file and let App Service do the rest.
+
+### Tomcat on App Service
+This App Service stack supports all recent major and minor versions of Tomcat. 
+You should consider migrating on-premises Tomcat web applications to App Service using 
+this stack. Such applications often use technologies such as the Spring Framework and 
+Hibernate. The stack is also suitable for applications currently running on servers such 
+as WebLogic or WebSphere that can be easily migrated to Tomcat. You can deploy 
+your web application archive (WAR) file and let App Service do the rest.
+
+### JBoss EAP on App Service
+You can effortlessly run any JBoss EAP version currently supported by Red Hat on this 
+App Service stack. JBoss EAP is fully compatible with the Java Enterprise Edition (EE) 
+and Jakarta EE standards. The stack can optionally support any application that requires 
+JBoss EAP clustering. You should consider migrating applications currently running 
+on-premises on JBoss EAP and WildFly to this stack. The stack is also suitable for 
+applications running on servers such as WebLogic or WebSphere that can be easily migrated 
+to JBoss EAP. You can deploy your web application archive (WAR) or 
+enterprise archive (EAR) file and let App Service do the rest.
