[ale] need your input on a project...

I've never heard anyone say that Tomat isn't intended for production. 
However, I have seen numerous situations where it has been used in 
production with no complaints. The general setup is to use it with 
apache so you're only serving servlets from tomcat and letting apache 
handle static stuff (and any other cgi stuff you might have). If the 
application is quite large and you think that you might go the J2EE 
route (incl. EJBs), check out JBoss. Once again, JBoss plays really nice 
with tomcat.

So, my suggestion is Apache as the web server. Tomcat as the servlet 
container. JBoss as the EJB/J2EE app server. All open source, all free.
