Depends on the features you need from the app server. IBM ships a
boatload of "enterprise" features with the websphere stack. If you need
EJB, Messaging, web services, JSF and other Java EE 5 features your
options are:

* JBoss
* Glassfish
* Apache Geronimo
* JoNAS

All of the above are FOSS one way or the other

For lighter JSP/Servlet/Spring type apps:

* Tomcat
* Jetty
