[thelist] Servlet/Java hosting help?

Hi all,

I'm doing a bit of personal research into hosting providers that can host 
custom Java servlets with database access, and possibly (this is the tough 
one), custom server-side Java programs (basically a socket server for 
real-time communication with a client application).

The second one is really what I'm looking for, but based on my research so 
far, I may have to settle for a servlet approach because I have yet to find 
a hosting provider that will let me run my own server application on their 
box, even if it's Java-based and runs in the JVM's security sandbox.

Price is a minor concern, but I'll consider anything at this point.  The 
only other criteria is scaleability.  I could host this on my own server, 
but major traffic would bring it to it's knees rather quickly, so I'm 
looking for enterprise-level stuff preferably.

Any suggestions are welcome, I'm not having much luck on my own..

Thanks!
