The heavy duty commercial app servers generally have some sort
of "persistence" or "state" engine that works in distributed
fashion as required. If it _doesn't_ have this, it's almost
by definition NOT a heavy duty app server, because this is
required in order to implement fault-tolerant load-balanced
systems. However, there's usually a large price tag attached...
