There are many web containers availabe.  Tomcat is the reference 
implementation, but others exists with different goals.

One of these which are widely used are Jetty, which is fast and has a 
very clean design (no shell scripts or bat files to get up and running, 
just java).  I have not made Resin run under OS/400 even nthough it is 
very slick and developer friendly by being able to recompile classes 
while running (this is less important today as HotSpot JVM's allow IDE's 
to update the code transparently).

If my sharing my findings make it easier for others, that alone is 
enough for me.

Has anybody had any success in getting e.g. JBoss to run under OS/400?
