Whether or not to use J2EE application server

P

Hello:
I am new to the field of application servers and web services.
We are designing a web based device monitoring system.
It has to support management of upto 10000 devices and upto 50 users
accessing the system. We want to use J2EE technology(EJB, JSP< SOAP
etc) but we are not sure if we have to use any application servers for
the project. I hope we can do this without using app server also but
just using apache and tomcat.

It would be great if someone can tell me when or when not to use app
servers? what are the advantages? what are the options among app
servers and can we redistribute an app server like JBOSS with our
application?

Thanks in advance,
Prasad.

EJB requires application server
JSP requires at least Tomcat or Jetty
SOAP can be done on Tomcat with Apache Axis

alternative to application servers: Tomcat + Hibernate or JDO

advantages: CMP, Transactions

so far I've understood the licence of JBoss, you can redistribute it. The
support costs money.

Other application servers: BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere, Apache Geronimo,
