You’re thus looking for a Java servletcontainer/applicationserver which supports NIO (Non Blocking IO).
Pretty much all of them supports NIO: Apache Tomcat, JBoss AS, Oracle Glassfish, etcetera. On some of them (e.g. Apache Tomcat), you’ve to make some configuration changes first (see also its HTTP connector documentation with regard to NIO). Glassfish uses under the covers Grizzly as NIO implementation of the HTTP connector.
As to which one to choose, that depends on what parts provided by the huge Java EE 6 API you’d like to utilize. If it’s just JSP/Servlet, then Tomcat suffices. If you need a bit more than just JSP/Servlet, the Glassfish Web Profile may suffice. If you’d like to utilize the entire Java EE 6 API, then go ahead with JBoss AS or Glassfish Full Platform.
