Tomcat vs Jetty6

[Richard Frovarp <ri...@sendit.nodak.edu>]

Any one have any recommendations on using Tomcat vs Jetty6? I need to 
migrate 40 publications to our latest from the October build with 
included Jetty I've been using. I want AJP proxying, so that's why I 
would need to go with Jetty6. I've gone through the work to get Tomcat 
up and running on a different machine for a different project, so that 
isn't a reason to stay away.

Any opinions or experiences either way?

Thanks,
Richard

I have no experience with Jetty in production (only on our zones 
server), but I have very good experiences with Tomcat. Our company 
website authoring environment (Lenya 2.0.1-dev) runs in Tomcat (I think 
it's 6.0.14) and we didn't notice any problems yet. All customers that 
I'm aware of also run Tomcat.

If you want to be sure about the performance, you could run some load 
tests (on the same machine with the same memory settings for both 
servlet engines).

i did a very unscientific comparison of our old jetty vs. the
then-current tomcat some time ago, and found jetty to be faster and
slimmer...
i think when you have an apache in front anyways, you're better off
using jetty in terms of resource usage. but then, my only production
machine atm is veeeeery low traffic and has had a maximum of 2-3
concurrent editors.
