What I recommend is either Orion or the use of Jetty + JBoss. Orion is full J2EE compliant (minus some minor bugs) and is free for all use except production which will set you back a mere $1500 per server (not cpu). Orion is used by Oracle in their 9i product so you can be sure its a pretty solid product. It has a built in web server, servlet/jsp engine, ejb, jms and so on. Jetty/JBoss is another great deal. JBoss is an ejb J2EE app server with everything but the web/servlet/jsp engine built in. JBoss is open source, is free for all use including redeployment, and is a very robust and well supported product. With over 1000 engineers world wide working on it and up to 50,000 downloads a month, it is the most widely spread J2EE app server available. You can't go wrong. Jetty is another great product, and the two are tightly integrated as a all-in-one J2EE solution. Jetty is a very small footprint web server that can be embedded in applications, as well as a stand alone HTTP 1.1 web server WITH a Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 engine as well. It too is open source and free for all use. All 3 products are 100% Java written and will run on any JVM with Jdk 1.3 or later. Orion runs on 1.2.2, but JBoss says 1.3. Its plausible it may run on 1.2.2, but not sure. Since JDK 1.4 is almost out, I'd make sure you are using JDK 1.3.1 anyways.
Orion is easiest to set up among the three, and very fast. Infact, so far I haven't seen, played with or read about any server that can deliver JSP pages faster! It beats the big boys hands down in most cases at almost no cost. Jetty is a bit slower only because it is relying on the Apache Jasper JSP engine, which is very slow. Eventually Jetty 4 (soon to be under way) may include a new JSP engine as well as session fail-over support, and Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 implementation. That coupled with JBoss 3 (with full EJB 2.0 support, clustering of app servers, and highly extensible architecture) will make for a rock solid solution for any J2EE requirement.
