JBoss does have failover/load balancing capabilities. Best place to ask more about this is the clustering user forum http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=64.

Also read the Clustering documentation and even the clustering FAQ http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9306

You have to tell us which version of the AS are you interested in. JBoss-4.x version, by default, doesn't have much in terms of administration interface (UI) (read my comments later on, before concluding JBossAS is bad :) ). But there is Embedded Jopr http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=294 which is very good at administrative UI. You can deploy Embedded Jopr on JBoss-4.x for administrative capabilities. 
The upcoming release of JBoss-5 is going to include this administrative UI as part of the default installation http://www.jboss.org/feeds/post/jboss_as_5_0_1_ga_released

Finally, the important part, JBoss AS is the community edition. There's the JBoss EAP edition which is supported version of JBoss AS. From what i know, the EAP version already has the administrative capabilities.
