Have you check the list archives? Hmm... Are the list archives even
available since the java-linux.org fiasco?

First, it's no big whup to run the base JWS on Linux. I posted my changes
to run it under RedHat Linux to the JWS mailing list a 5 or 6 months ago to
get the native code to switch uid, etc. to work. Check out the archives for
the Java Web Server mailing list.
The biggest PITA is that Sun won't support SSL on any platforms but Solaris
and NT due to various things like their licensing deal with RSA. All of my
entreaties for at least some sort of decent documentation so that we can
hook in our own SSL support have been totally ignored.
I haven't tried servlet support in Apache in a long time so I can't help
you much there but if you're already using Apache then you should
definitely check that out first and then the JRun servlet-runner from Live
Software (particuarly if you want support).
Hope this helps,
John
