J2EE application servers are multi-threaded server applications. Because they are multi-threaded, they will most likely be able to use all the cores of your multi-core processor.

Provided, of course, that the underlying JVM supports that. I doubt that there is anything in J2EE specifically that can affect how the JVM and the operating system do their thread processing.
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
