Here's a possibility for you:  I've been using a considerably beefed-up
version of the Acme web server (www.acme.com) for serious web server
application for about the last 3 months -- development of code and pages
for the volunteermatch site.  It runs GSP just fine, and another
template language written in Java and based on servlets.  This does not
support things like zones and virtual hosting, nor does it change its
effective user id.  If you start it as root, it stays as root.

But it's based on Jef Poskanzer's clean code, it's still small, and it
has been tested running a pretty complex website.  The Acme license is
very liberal, more so than any GNU license, and because the original
code is licensed that way I'll probably leave the whole thing under the
Acme license.  If you'd like to give it a try, I'll send you a copy.
It's extremely easy to configure, and known to work with GSP.

I've been overwhelmed with other things in the last week, but I'll be
updating copyrights and packaging it a bit better in the next week or
so.  It's intended for public release for purposes such as yours.
