Hi, AFAIK, the main goal of using Tomcat is to re-use an existing one. For example, on my CI server I have both Jenkins, Sonar and Artifactory running ; it can be considered "cleaner" to have only one application server running all these software instead of one per software.
That doesn't change anything on the software-side configuration, but can considerable reduce the "system-side" configuration. For example, only one port is used for all the applications, no need to open a new one on the firewall / proxies / etc. I'm not aware of any huge performance benefits, but I think that for huge Jenkins instance, a dedicated Tomcat/whatever can be more finely tuned. 2013/3/6 Bertrand Jacquin <[email protected]> > Hi, > > I'm starting using Jenkins for a project to replace buildbot, and I'm > able to make Jenkins web interface working without any Tomcat, just by > using the war file included in > http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat/RPMS/noarch/jenkins-1.502-1.1.noarch.rpm > > I can't figure out looking to the Wiki what are the benefit from using > Tomcat or others ? > > Could you enlighten me ? > > -- > Beber > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
