Whoops, jcm you may need to visit jboss.org, a fine group of developers.
In fact JBoss is the EJB container/server which integrates well with Tomcat.
JBoss and advocates are pressing for Sun certification.
It also provides other services that are not spec. J2EE for example
JMS.
JBoss/Tomcat will integrate with Apache and provide a very sophisticated,
very powerful
J2EE development environment. This may be well over the top for most WebApp
development,
however for e-commerce/online marketing opportunities this provides a heavy
weight, reliable, extensible solution.
JBoss does not provide a servlet container, it relies on Tomcat as the
servlet container.
John.
PS Matthew by the sounds of things may be I should consider some online
consultancy
honestly the solution I suggested either with or without JBoss provides a
superb solution.
BTW the apache project (cocoon) allows you to separate business
logic/information and presentation layer very useful.
