but resin is not free to use if "You get paid to develop with Resin" - this
basically means as far as I can see that for commercial use you'll need to
pay for each server - and it seems to cost around $500 a license.
If its benchmarks are to be believed, I'd certainly look at using it, but
would be interested in seeing some independant comparisons....

Well yes,
But it really does depend on your commercial use.  As the license says
if you are a small start up business with no money then you
can use it.  I guess educational use is free as well and I'm quite sure that
evaluation is free as well.

Anyway, $500 is not a lot to ask for a reasonable server, if it pans out
on my site I'll certainly pay the cost !

I know there is some comparison but i forgot the url.
Actually, there is a cost for each production server (500$ and it worth it
!) but for development is free and you can get Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 with
resin 1.2.
This is an excerpt of the licence :
"You may use Resin for development, evaluation, and demos.
You must contact us for a deployment license if either:
You are paid to use Resin.
You are paying someone else to use Resin.
If no one is paid to use Resin, you may use Resin for deployment without
purchasing a license:
students
private use
tiny startups with neither funding nor income.
Anyone falling in between should contact us for a waiver.
Distributors must contact us.
If you are allowed to use Resin, you may modify the source for that use."
