It is for building service based applications. So if you have services that are to exist in server over long amounts of time (rather than being request based or session based like EJBs) and you need to access native resources like ports, ClassLoaders, threads etc then it will probably be uyseful to you. > 2.

Currently you need to use standard inter-JVM communication mechanisms - in the future this may not be required and we will probably have a lite streamlined version. > 4 Can i have more than one webserver/servlet engine under the apps > directory?

As long as they don't both use same underlying native resources (ie ports in this case) I see no reason why not. > 5.
