Re: Which scales better? J2EE, PHP, or CGIDEV2?

The Wikipedia definition works for me. "scalability is a desirable property of a 
system, a network, or a process, which indicates its ability to either handle 
growing amounts of work in a graceful manner or to be enlarged."

Under that definition CGIDEV2 would scale well just by running under IBM i where 
available resources (processors, memory, etc.) are automatically allocated to 
separate jobs.  No need to configure anything, except standard HTTP server 
configuration directives allowing a given number of threads and CGI server jobs, 
timeouts, and so forth.  Native workloads automatically scale to use available 
resources.

Is the same true for J2EE and PHP?
