Hi,
There are many application and web servers on the market and it's a daunting task to choose which one is right for you. Fortunately, most are now certified by Sun as
J2EE compliant.
If you're after a JSP/Servlet runner, I would recommend that you take a look at something like
Tomcat (
http://jakarta.apache.org ) or JRun (
http://www.allaire.com ).
If it's an application server that you need (to run JSPs,
servlets, EJBs, JMS, etc), some popular ones are
JBoss (free from
http://www.jboss.org ), BEA WebLogic (
http://www.bea.com/products/weblogic/server/index.shtml ), IBM WebSphere (
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/ ) or iPlanet (
http://www.iplanet.com/products/iplanet_application/home_2_1_1n.html ).
Of course there are many, many more...
Hope that helps!
Regards
Simon
