Jetty has always been nice in terms of how you can customize and embed it.
That's right. Jetty has a pluggable architecture which makes it perfect
for embedding. You can also strip it back to the bare bones. Don't want
servlet sessions? Strip out the module. Tomcat is pretty lightweight but
Jetty is super skinny. You can embed Tomcat too but it's nowhere near
as clean as Jetty. The Jetty mantra is that you put the web server into
your application. That resonates with me.
whereas Tomcat is more recognized as the de-facto reference open source Servlet
container for web
app developers.
That's because Tomcat was the first servlet container. In recent years
Jetty has pioneered several technologies that have made it into the
servlet specification. Asynchronous servlets the most important. There's
nothing wrong with Tomcat, but Jetty seems to me to have
a better architecture. It also has some nice integrations. The maven
plugin allows to you run a web app without assembling a WAR! Fantastic for
development.
Prior to IBM's acquisition of JZOS, we used to include sample JCL with JZOS
for starting both Tomcat and Jetty using the JZOS batch launcher.
Here's a post in our Community forum from 2005 that mentions support for
this with IBM Java SDK 1.3!

Curious: Is there something relative to RACF keyrings or TLS 1.2 in Tomcat8
/ SDK8 that can't be done with Tomcat 7 and z/OS SDK 7?

I suppose that some of the JCE/JSSE interfaces are cleaner in Java8 ?

We're currently developing a product with a web UI that uses a Java
application server running on z/OS, either Tomcat or Jetty.
We use Tomcat 8.5.6 on top of Java 8, which gives us RACF keyring and TLS
1.2 support.
Is Jetty a good alternative to Tomcat for ISVs?
