Good question :)

Nowadays, a huge number of application developers and enterprise companies want to use lightweight application servers for deploying and running their web applications. They do not want to use heavyweight Java EE Servers that are fully compliant with Java EE Specifications. They want to manage light weight, cloud environment friendly servers. Nonetheless, they also need more technology stack for implementing their web based applications, such as "JPA, JSF, JTA , EJB etc."

Moreover, most of them deploy their critical enterprise web applications into the Apache Tomcat in their production systems.

Siwpas is aimed at providing a lightweight application server runtime based on Apache Tomcat 7. It also fills web applications technology requirements via ASF Java EE projects. In summary, Siwpas translates Apache Tomcat 7 into a more powerful enterprise web server.
