Do you know what your client is wanting from java? If they are writing
a simple web application (known as a WAR), then tomcat/apache with
mod_jk or mod_jk2 will work. If they require EJBs (Enterprise Java
Beans), the you will need more than a servlet engine. Jboss,
http://jboss.com/downloads/index#as, will run EJBs and servlets, and
it uses tomcat for its servlet engine. You will use mod_jk or mod_jk2
with jboss as well.
