I think the most important difference for someone considering which to use
for a production site is that 4.0 is still in beta, and is likely to be for a while
yet since the servlet 2.3 standard isn't expected to be finalized for at least
a few months. I don't believe the Apache connectors are ready yet (I could
be mistaken though).
3.2.1 is a production release: if I were setting up a business-critical/
job security-critical site, I would use it rather than 4.0. If it's a non-critical
site and you'd like to get used to the forthcoming 2.3 standard, 4.0 will put
you ahead of the curve.
