Similar research that I've conducted hasn't been quite so favourable for Tomcat. Then again, it may also depend on what criteria you are using - vanilla Tomcat doesn't tend to scale to well with multiple connections. In such cases, you want to look at something that either has NIO (Jetty, Grizzly - the refitted Tomcat that is part of Glassfish), or use the APR with Tomcat (but then if you are having issues with Tomcat, I can't see that they are going to be helped much by including native code!) > Any other experiences that people have had, with > Jetty or other, or any negative experiences with Resin would be greatly > appreciated. I've tried using Jetty for some of our projects, but not really DSpace (/ Open Repository). Unfortunately, our own in-house code has a few dependencies on the way that we have configured Tomcat, that makes Jetty a bit of a challenge (actually, even upgrading to Tomcat 6 looks like it would be a challenge given the changes that have been made). I have tried an OOTB installation of DSpace on Jetty, and that worked without any problems. Plus the documentation looks to be pretty good, and the configuration fairly easy - so it's definitely worth taking a look at Jetty. G This email has been scanned by Postini.
