Fastest Open Source Java Application Server

Question

Which Open Source Java Application Server is the fastest?

• Glassfish
• Jetty
• JBoss

Others?

Answer 1

I heard that Glassfish is the fastest server if you scale up to a big environment. This does it by grizzly.

Here are some performance stats.

Answer 2

it's discussable how much open source it is - but also take a look at resin.

Answer 3

I have heard good things about Resin as well. It has been a while since I've used JBoss, but at the time (>5 years) it was excellent. Hopefully support is better now since it's more mature and Red Hat supported.
