We're using that technique for both long-running server processes and small web applications, i've covered in a blog post some time ago: http://coffeenco.de/articles/how_to_deploy_clojure_code.html
Basically, create a jar and run it from a jar. If you don't want to embed jetty, you can deploy to jetty container. If you want to have uninterrupted deployments, use nginx and multiple sever socket backends, kill old app after new app's startup. As reg. configuration, you can check out a little application I wrote on GitHub: Here's a config file: https://github.com/ifesdjeen/upload-challenge/blob/master/config/production.clj Here's a primitive way to read it: https://github.com/ifesdjeen/upload-challenge/blob/master/src/uploadchallenge/conf.clj There are also scripts for deployment and so on, kind of a complete setup: https://github.com/ifesdjeen/upload-challenge Not sure how common our practice is, but we do it that way.
