In the Java world there are standards that is somewhat equivalent to IIS/MTS. For IIS, you can use Java Servlets and JSP (JSP is the Java equivalent to ActiveX Server Pages) and Java Servlets are more like in-process CGI programs. For MTS, the
Java standard is Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). EJB is a Sun defined standard for transactional, persistent Java Beans. Beans are similar to ActiveX/COM objects. The EJB standard defines an enclosing environment that implements transactions and persistence. Since this is a standard, you can choose from muliple vendors for the actual implementation. This technology is still fairly young so the number of EJB implementations is still fairly small (though growing).
