I think a standalone J2EE application will be good and better loose coupling than EJB. You can seperate memory, disk, and CPU resources from your main application. You can send results back in XML, JSON, or other formats.

IN THEORY, EJB containers are better able than Tomcat to spread incoming requests over a multitude of servers. There was considerable discussion some time ago about index search speed on a single processor. I do not remember the details, but there was some information about how fast a search might be expected to go with one processor. If that is fast enough, Tomcat should suffice. My search application has a few short documents so my experience is not relevant.
