Yes, the concern with in-process is the single point of failure. With stand-alone, Jrun, like most servlet engines, has its own web server and can take requests directly. So, no you don't need a web server to use it. But, the web server built into Jrun and most servlet engines is pretty rudimentary, doesn't scale well, and is not intended for general production use.
