The Java Web Server supports several "SSL_DHE_DSS..."
SSL cipher suites including SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA. You can
find out more about it and purchase/download it online at
http://jserv.java.sun.com/products/webserver/index.html. It also supports
the "SSL_DH_anon..." anonymous cipher suites as well. In addition to
DSA/DH SSL support it also has advanced support for Java server-side
programming models.
