[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-1314) Provide documentation that helps users make an informed decision as whether to use Tomcat or Jetty Web Container

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1314?page=all ]

John Sisson updated GERONIMO-1314:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
Currently a lot of users probably choose to use Tomcat because it has had more visibility and there isn't much Geronimo documentation about Jetty and why they might want to use it.

Ideas:
A link to a documentation page could possibly be presented in the installer where the users choose between Tomcat or Jetty.  Can we provide help in the installer?
Provide information on the features of the containers and anything that differentiates one from the other.
Provide links to GBean configuration documentation for each container.
Provide information mapping Tomcat and Jetty concepts for users who are already famiiar with one of the containers - make it easy for them to migrate existing apps.
