we moved from apache -> jserv -> jonas to orion and are happy with that
because of a low maintenance all java solution with a very well thought-out
(though less well documented ;) configuration concept . the (for us) most
relevant plus for apache is the availability of lots of handy and
well-tested modules like mod_rewrite, mod_expires, mod_proxy etc.. if you
rely on those things to tweak the behaviour of your websites you'll miss
them. orion offers some generic mechanism to implement some of those things
yourself but it would require programming/debugging on your part. our work
is mostly web-frontends for ejb-based database applications so it's OK for
us. you'll always have the option to use apache and orion (if the
performance hit is acceptable for you) with things like mod_proxy.
just my 2c,
