On the open-source/free software front, the situation seems to be :
- Tomcat supports 2.3
- Jetty supports 2.3
- GNU Paperclips claims to support 2.3 (I never tried it, be they seems 
quite assertive)
- jserv doesn't be is in a maintenance only mode. Deprecated.

For full J2EE,
- JBoss integrates either Jetty or Tomcat
- ObjectWeb's Jonas integrates Tomcat.
- Enhydra is only 2.2 compliant


So, there seems to be no problem on that front, except maybe for Enhydra.

Regards,

Franck
