HTTP Server jetty
Hi,
Somebody surely already put the question, but I did not find an answer, then I ask it nevertheless: Why is Geronimo default with Jetty and not HTTP Apache Server integrated ? Is it a licence problem ?
Thanks

David is assuming you are asking about the Apache Java based http
server (and servlet/jsp engine) Tomcat. If you really meant the Apache
HTTPd server, the reason we don't ship with it is HTTPd is written in C
and must be compiled to each platform where our distributions will run
on a generic Java VM.

The reasons are primarily historical: the main Jetty developers were
some of the geronimo founding members and most of us have a lot more
experience with Jetty than Tomcat. There is a Tomcat integration and
several people are working on it, however it is not yet completely
integrated and functional. I think the Tomcat work is somewhat
sidelined at the moment in our effort to finish j2ee certification. We
would certainly welcome help in finishing the Tomcat integration.
Many thanks,
