Well I am planning to implement a java server come december using the
Avalon Server framework at java.apache.org. At least this is the plan. The
Avalon already includes many of features required for generic servers
(loggers, configuration, datastores (ie filesystem/database/whatever),
various pools such as thread and connection etc). If you wanted to start
one now and want to use the Avalon framework then I will be able to give
limited support/work until decemeber at which point I will hopefully be
able to help a fair bit :P. Avalon is also gradually including intrinsic
support for massively scalable server farms which will be a good thing.
Currently it is a work in progress and only 1 person is really developing
the scalability but this should change soon :P





Cheers,

Pete
