Not to be overly contrary, but the classic HTTP Server was definitely
designed with commerce in mind.  It's efficient, scalable, robust, reliable,
and secure.

The problem is not with the Web server.  It's great for serving static
pages, for example.  However EVERY Web Server needs additional support for
dynamic content, which is often satisfied by a Common Gateway or Servlet
Interface.  While the Servlet engines you mentioned are more scalable than
CGI, scalable ILE alternatives are available too.  Relational-Web is one of
them.
