The world of Java Application servers has been very confusing, so many to choose from. Now more and more open-source versions are popping up. Most of them are based on efforts by the Apache Foundation who have worked hard on creating the base components required by a Java Application and Web server. They started with Tomcat which served as the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. Based on Tomcat a whole plathora of servers were born.
JBoss is probably the most widely used and J2EE compliant Java server around. Its core is based on Tomcat.
A while ago I saw Jetty which is 100% java and is a FAST JSP and Servlet server, 350 kb is size.
Today I found Gluecode JOE, which has an open-source version as well as a FREE Standard version which has clustering support. It also relies heavily on Apache-based open-source software. The Apache Geronimo application server is its core, it uses Jetty as the web/servlet server, uses the Apache Pluto portal framework and Apache Derby as the default database. With the Standard edition you get an Enhanced Management console and optional clustering support.
Apache Geronimo is the J2EE server project of the Apache Software Foundation. Its currently passes Sun's TCK for J2EE 1.4. More on this later.
