Orion can be used as a standalone web server or in conjunction with a 3rd party web server such as Apache or IIS. I can't comment on IIS as I have always used Apache as my web server (except for this project where Orion is used for everything).

I am relatively new in this area...so bare with me... I am about to purchase Orion as our application server. The application I will be running is 100% web based, J2EE. Do I need a Web Server as well? Or does Orion act as this too? This will be running on a Windows 2k platform. If I need a Web Server, should I use Microsoft IIS? It is rated better then Apache for Windows platforms. If I do not need both, which is better? Web Server or App Server? Thanks, -M
