It depends.
You should consider whether you really need a full fledged app server.
For a lots of projects, a simple Servlet/JSP container (e.g. Tomcat)
is enough.
Basically, when choosing an app server, JBoss and Sun Server/Glassfish
are the most common options, if you need full EE stack. If you are
fine with mere web container, go with Tomcat or Jetty.
Thanks for you help ;o)
I don't know yet if I'll need J2EE.
But I know that I need a Framework to start a WebApplication because
many basics need have to be completed : Authentication, Caching, Input
Validation, State Management, Configuration, Data Access, and more ...
So I think a Framework is a must have, don't you ?
For web interface with authentication, input validation, statefullness,
caching, I would go with Tomcat and MyFaces. Unfortunatelly built-in
container authentication is sort of awkward in J2EE. See
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2004/jw-0726-security.html
For data access, JDBC.
For configuration - J2SE supports "properties" which is cool for basic
configuration needs. If you need to load up complex configuration, there
is a nice library: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/configuration/
About J2EE : At XWiki (a Java Wiki at www.xwiki.org) I read in the
features section : "Scalability and Performance using J2EE".
I understand "Scalability" with J2EE, but I could not see how J2EE bring
"Performance" for a WebApplication like a wiki.... Have you got an idea
how J2EE can bring "Performance" to a WebApplication ?
The same way as any compiled language, as opposed to an interpreted one,
like PHP. I think it was meant that way.

My guess is MyFaces has a much, much larger market share than
Barracuda.
I think so. While I'm searching, I see that there nothing about
Barracuda on the web, except on www.barracudamvc.ogr and Enhydra.org.
By the way, I'm not shure about the choice of Enhydra Server for same
reasons : not much artcile and community ...
Thanks for your answer,
