The all new Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 in standalone form has been released and is now available for download. This release features an entirely re-designed Administration interface designed around clusters, easy access to frequently performed tasks, simplification of frequently performed tasks, and a fully scriptable command line interface(CLI) featuring functional parity with the browser-based interface.

Here's my top 10 list of what's cool in this release:

•  Full 64-bit support for Solaris SPARC and Solaris AMD64 platforms
•  Regular expression pattern matching for URL re-writing and mass hosting
•  Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)

•  Java session failover and recovery within a cluster of peers
