I think eWave ServletExec is worth mentioning as well. It's known to be
good and stable. The price is $695/VM. (This, along with JRun, JWS, and
JServe, was one of the first servlet runners).
I also want to second Jon's observation about WebSphere -- it's definitely
one of the worst products I've ever worked with. The new version, 3.5, may
have fixed some of its many many bugs, but I still woudln't touch it with
a 10-foot pole. Anyway, it's overkill for a servlet engine if you're not
going to use EJB.
