I think this all depends upon the types of requests you expect to get. lighttpd is presumably "faster than Tomcat" for static content. Tomcat itself is pretty fast as a static HTML server, so you might not want to discount your 3rd option there. If you don't expect a lot in the way of static content requests, then you should probably eliminate the extra processing that will have to be done with all your dynamic requests being forwarded through mod_proxy or some other communication channel. Apache mina doesn't appear to be an HTTP server. I'm sure you could re-build all that HTTP infrastructure on top of mina, but is it worth it? The same can be said of the Servlet API. If you're starting from scratch, the Servlet API might not be much of a concern. If you're looking to re-deploy an existing application, you might want to consider other options (such as mina). I think the use of XMLHttpRequest is going to be your limiting factor because they you /must/ use HTTP for communication.
