Yes there is a distinction.
The existing JAWS is a very interesting bit of technology:
The JAWS Adaptive Web Server
An Application Framework for High Performance Web Systems
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~jxh/research/
JAWS is based on ACE:
The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE)
An Object-Oriented Network Programming Toolkit in C++
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html
Also related to ACE is TAO:
Real-time CORBA with TAO (The ACE ORB)
Real Solutions for Real-time Systems
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html
I you are at all interested in building high performance network
applications, you should look *very* closely at ACE. As I understand it,
JAWS is an attempt at building a *very* high performance web server using
ACE. TAO is meant as a *very* high performance CORBA ORB.
All of great interest!
Now this is all C++ code and (barely) off-topic for this list. Still I'll
bet that there are people on the list who will find ACE and friends
professionally useful.
Unfortunately I have not yet had a project where this cluster of
technologies applied :).
Giving a modest closed source Java only web server the same name is
confusing, and a disservice to your peers.
