You can use what we use for Nexus if you're interested. It's a small wrapper around the Plexus container and we embed Jetty. You can drop in any WAR file, and it's all enclosed by JSW. We also just did this for Hudson.
What we are working toward is a way to update the application and then be able to restart Jetty and the hosted application. We've been using this setup for about 10 releases of Nexus and it works great.
