Why would you get rid of your Web server. A web server provides a
lot more things out of the box than any servlet engine (while I like
Java, I don't think it's the *only* language or *only* way to do
things). While I do believe that there is a time and place for simpler
web servers (e.g. use a browser and an embedded server to deploy
a help system or data management application for sales people in
the field), the servlet engines IMHO have a long way to go until they
reach something like Apache or Iplanet. In fact the servlet engine
guys should concentrate on writing better servlet engines (actually
they should scrap writing their own servlet engines, standardize on
Tomcat and improve services around Tomcat so that we developers
always have a standard platform to run our apps on). Shipping a
simple server to test servlets out on without the overhead of a real
server is nice, but leave the real Web serving to the Web server
developers.
