How will this address fail-over? If the application server goes down, system goes down. How should this be put in the design? Assumptions?

You have a single point of failure. I'd at the very least cluster the JVMs on the app server, and implement some form of vertical scaling.

How do you handle a single point of failure? Have the web servers prepared to send the client a pretty web page when a 500 error is encountered.

I hope that's a WebSphere Application Server. Those are the only J2EE servers that never, ever, go down.

Cheers!
