Depends realy on cost, there are some free servers that will let you run
servlets etc (Tomcat, Orion, JBOSS). Do you need J2ee development environment?
If all you need is jsp, servlets, and some database thing, I would look at
Tomcat (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html), with a some JDO
implementation (JDBC is so 1990's:). JDO makes your life very esay by
hiding the jdbc stuff, you to queries an object level. Most of them do all
sorts of funky shit as well like caching.
For a JDO implementation, i believe JBOSS comes with one, but ive never used
it. I have used and would recomend Castor (castor.exolab.org).
