Dear balsini ,

1. You cannot just compare the Jetty Vs Apache Tomcat for Web Containter selection . Because both are for different dimensions of deployment .

hello,

In the past i did a peformance test between jetty and tomcat. Same web application tested with jboss-jetty was faster then jboss-tomcat, but that was a year ago

Greetings Johan

One positive note is that Jetty is more "space in the path" friendly that Tomcat. I run JBoss in C:\Program Files myself.

A huge advantage in our particular case was that Jetty can serve static http pages as well as Servlets.
In order to do this with Tomcat, you need to add yet another layer to your architecture (eg Apache-Tomcat-JBoss)
There is some work involved in attaching Apache to Tomcat with mod_jk.

Also I found it impossible to find a compiled Apache binary for win32 with BOTH mod_jk and SSL (support for these must be compiled in). This was over a year ago, so this may have changed by now.

Hi,
I'm not ok with this....Tomcat can serve gifs or HTML pages as well...
It won't be as fast & reliable than apache but for dynamic most applications it's a sufficient solution...
Getting a working mod_jk is the eternal problem, you're right :)

Jetty and Tomcat can BOTH serve static content e.g html, images etc. .. with tomcat 5, if you look around, there have been a number of performance increases, ie, we are now moving to a stack where it is possible in some scenarious/architectures to do away with a native http server (from a speed/throughput point of view).
