Do I really need an application server (e.g. IBM WebSphere) for my Java application?
In some cases, no. Java applications that rely on Java Servlet or JavaServer Pages technologies (i.e., do not use the EJB specification) are best deployed on the Java System Web Server. The Java System Web Server provides better performance and less complexity and administrative overhead. To see JavaServer Pages and Java Servlet technology on Java System Web Server in action, check out the Major League Baseball Web site.
