Top 10 Open Source Java and JavaEE Application Servers

1

Glassfish

GlassFish is often considered as the reference implementation of Java EE and so supports Enterprise JavaBeans (a managed, server-side component architecture for modular construction of enterprise applications), JPA (Java Persistence API ), JavaServer Faces, JMS (Java Message Service), RMI (Java Remote Method Invocation), JavaServer Pages, servlets and more. Glassfish allows you to to create enterprise applications that are portable and scalable, and that integrate with legacy technologies. Optional components can also be installed for additional services.

Wildfly

Wildfly also supports web services like JAX-WSJDBCLoad balancing, and includes a Management API, a OSGi frameworkRMI-IIOP and can be executed in two server modes: a traditional, single JVM, standalone mode, and a multi-JVM option, Domain mode, which synchronizes configuration across any number of processes and hosts.

Apache Tomcat

It is built upon a modular kernel powered by OSGi, and runs straight on top of the Apache Felix implementation. It is also capable of running with Equinox OSGi or Knopflerfish OSGi runtimes. HK2 abstracts the OSGi module system to provide components, which can also be viewed as services and injected into the run time and uses a derivative of Apache Tomcat as the servlet container for serving Web content, with an added component called Grizzly which uses Java New I/O (NIO) for scalability and speed. We have previous covered how to set up Glassfish on a Linux Server.

Apache Geronimo

Apache Geronimo is an open source application server developed by the Apache Software Foundation and distributed under the Apache license. Apache Geronimo is compatible with the Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 6 specification supports various technologies such as JMS, Enterprise JavaBeans, Connectors, servlets, JSP, JSF, Unified Expression Language and JavaMail. Developers can create applications that are both portable and scalable, and that integrate well with legacy technologies. It should be noted that development of Apache Geronimo has now largely been ceased although not completely.

Eclipse Jetty

JOnAS provides a fully compliant EJB container through EasyBeans and is available with an embedded Tomcat or Jetty web container which is 1.6 JVM supported, and can run on numerous operating systems including Linux, Windows, AIX, and many Posix platforms.

JOnAS

Version 5 of JOnAS is fully based on the OSGi framework; using either Apache Felix, Eclipse Equinox or Knopflerfish meaning JOnAS components are packaged as bundles,and contains tools for creating, deploying and monitoring JOnAS clusters; it also includes self-management features too.

Blazix is a fully featured Java application server and web server (serving HTML files and images in addition to the standard application server workload.) Currently Blazix provides Servlet 2.3, JSP 1.2, EJB 1.1 and JMS 1.0.2. It also implements HTTP/1.1 and is written entirely in Java, and can be used cross-platform. It can be used as a full web server all by itself, especially in high volume traffic.
