I think JBOSS is what you need. It should work in F10, F11 and CentOS. 
You may also need to get separatedly JDK/JRE to use it. It has the 
important bits Servlet Engine and EJB support. If you don't need ejb 
support that much then I would recommend Tomcat. If I remember correctly 
Websphere had some proprietary extensions which you of course can't use. 
So test first if you have some ready made software you need to run.
