On such a machine I would suggest avoiding java altogether if you can help it -- it is quite a resource hog, relative to other solutions, like php, python, or perl... I don't know quite how the low-end of resource utilization stacks up; anyone? Maybe you are already tied to java, in which case I would try resin, jboss, and tomcat and see which works best on some examples (or your real pages of course) -- if you have real data then maybe you can artificially inflate the system (ie way more users folders messages etc crap than usual) to benchmark the variety of server software. You might even find more difference by JVM version than by webserver choice... speaking of which, you mention apache, so am I to assume that apache would handle the web requests and pass them on? This is not the default config AFAIK. Hope this helped some and didn't confuse! ciao
Ben B PS - a court house, hmmm? I used to be a systems administrator (and installer) for a local company which served web solutions to courts, using java on redhat! Maybe I can help? (Contact me off-list) Find out more about me at http://benb.org -the resume anyway, I appologize to all that the other resources aren't up yet...
