Legolas Tomcat suits such requirements [and heavier loads]. You can deploy tomcat on JBoss [it is embedded] and disable the services you don't need. Geronimo is not as mature, and correct me if I am wrong is not a servlet container, Geronimo uses jetty or tomcat for this.
On a different note, I would still implement connection pooling, [you don't need a full blown app server for that] look into jakarta commons there is some projects which addreses this specific need. Spring can help there too. Also, visit JBoss site, they have a Portal project. The Hardware you have can support this load [I am not a salesman :-)], also you proabaly need to think about availability [if this is a requirement] and growth / capacity planning, in such case you may revisit your hardware. Hopes this helps.

Hi Thank you for reading my post I need some advice to choose an application server / srvlet container for deploying a project. Application description : application has two part which one of them is a portal . portal itself will have a 2 hit/second . each hit could have 1 select / 1 update and one insert sql statement. portal itself use hibernate and Derby. I used plain *JDBC , derby , jsf *to develop my portlets (two portlet which are runing on the base) there are about 2 emails /second in peak time of the system , it will jsut send the emails and store them in database. The most busy part of the system is another application which will handel about 30 hit (each hit has , 2 update , 2 insert , and 2 select statement) for this part there will be no email.... *I did not implement sending emails as i do not know a good or best practice for this one , and i think it is something related to application server ?* As i did not use any EJB stuff and just some datasource , JNDI , connection pool , what will be my choice to deploy the application ? Tomcat ? Sun application server 8.* ? Geronimo ? Host is a Redhat enterprise Linux , with one p4 processor . some tables has 1/000/000 records. Will that hardware handle this load ? LEGAL DISCLAIMER.
