Jack, Kevin:
I don't have performance numbers, but I've done a lot of stability testing
on a lot of different combinations. One I've had very good luck with that
you won't want to skip in your testing is the Orion server. Supports the
latest JSP and Servlet standards, plus EJB and most of the rest of J2EE in
one package, written in Java. It's still a pre-1.0 release, but as stable &
reliable as anything I've tried, and more than most.
I'm not affiliated with them, just impressed by their product - free for
development, reasonable price for commercial.
They're web site is at http://www.orionserver.com
I'd be happy to assist in running test suites in various environments -
we've got a number of different systems/platforms/server engine combinations
going here for our testing, so let me know how we can help. We'd also be
happy to post the results somewhere accessible if that's needed too.
