eWeek recently did a test[1] on different application server stacks
with LAMP, WAMP, J2EE and .NET. One of the main conclusion is to do
test and do the necessary performance tuning[2]. And applications
servers needs memory.

Says who?
It's a fact that J2EE environment as JBoss/Tomcat or that one from Sun
Microsystem is built on top of Java, has a built in security by
design, if you turn it on. By using the right patterns (patterns is
the a kind of best practice of programing). The standard pattern you
should use on with servlet is a Model View Controller (MVC)[3], and
focusing on that you got the right certificates and such.

Handeling of security issues is also doable with other free software stacks
as LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl/Phyton/PHP).
When it comes to scalability is there more than enough scalablility for
standard usage. Most of the busninesses bay to expensive servers. They
should by less server power and a bit more memory (as in RAM), and
everythings runs smoth enough. Remember, it's not likely that you will be
slashdoted :), and the performance on every stack is good enough at any
stack as the performance test in eweek shows.

If you really want to learn something, and not be fiddling with all
the nifty gritty details, you should look at Ruby[4]. That "language"
has many language bidings, one of them to KDE[5].
So what you should do is to focus on learning. Ruby gives a high level
human approach to programming, and you need to code less. Servlets is
just to complicated for ordinary pupils that are 14-15 years old. The
will have results now, not using days just putting up the
infrastructure.

5. http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/ruby/index.html
So I suggest for you to decide what you want. To learn to make
programs for humans, or to get into the nifty gritty security issues
before, that often are a built in feature in a modern application
stack. A thing that should be focused on, but probably at stage 2 :)
