What is scalable, fast, application server to use for developing services written in java?

Id use tomcat if I were you. Everyone uses tomcat, it has good support, its easy to set up, and is compatible with Java 5 EE, which means you can always ditch it and use another compatible container.

Agree - Tomcat has always been great to me for developing. – Owen Mar 9 '09 at 19:09 Does it have scalability baked in, or do you have to use external things? – pdoken Mar 9 '09 at 20:44.

Tomcat, Jetty, Resin, JBoss, GlassFish. It's all the same, because scalability is a quality of your software and not of the server it runs.

You might want to have a look at OpenGSE, the Google Servlet Engine. The fact that it hosts GMail and Google Calendar should be enough to speak for its scalability :) (Okay, so I'm not going to claim that GSE is the sole cause of GMail's scalability, but it clearly works...).

However, G-WAN can not run Java easily. – Pindatjuh Jun 23 '11 at 1:35.

I like to roll my own with lipermi and then use Java Service Wrapper.

JBoss has always been wonderful for me to use when writing my Web Services.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
