Or better yet, an INEXPENSIVE fully compliant, J2EE commercial alternative
that has been running on the 3000 for years:

<plug>

Web/iX application server is a Web/Application sever that is 100% J2EE
certified, FREE for development and non-commercial use and is written in
100% Java.  A commercial license is only $1500 per Box, regardless of how
many CPUs are installed on that box.  Web/iX Has JDBC and native access to
IMAGE/SQL and runs completely on the HP e3000 or any platform(Unix,
Linux...). Oracle9iAS uses the same containers as Web/iX.  Web/iX is a great
alternative to BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere without the huge price tag.
Web/ix supports:

EJB 1.1 (partial EJB 2.0 Public Draft support)
Servlet 2.2 (Servlet 2.3 Public Draft support)
JSP 1.1
JTA 1.0.1
JNDI 1.2
JDBC 2.0
JMS 1.0

Lots of additional features
XML/XSLT processing

Graphical deployment tools for
 EJBs
 Tag libraries
 Enterprise applications (EAR-files)
 Web applications (WAR-files)

Clustering support
 HTTP Session state replication
 Dynamic session-aware load balancing

Auto-deployment
 Generated-on-demand stubs and skeletons
 Automatic table-creation
 Smart automatic finder generation
 Auto-compilation of servlets
 Enterprise Archive deployment (just point out the .ear and it's deployed
automatically)
