Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-3005:
--------------------------------------
bq. are there specific advantages you've encountered that make the switch
compelling?
In using JaxRS resources over Servlets, there is definitely much more
literature on configuring Grizzly with said resources, which is primarily how
my decision was made so far. I haven't actually been able to find a technical
difference (or even a comparison) between the two as to why you'd choose Jetty
over Grizzly or vice versa (oddly..). I also haven't found any docs on how to
configure Jetty to do the jaxrs stuff (as opposed to servlets) either.
I did find that Grizzly publishes a WADL automagically which was pretty cool
for me to at least validate that my resources were being loaded. I could see
some benefit from that for consumers as well, but that's by no means a strong
differentiation.

> The monitor works well for what it does, but it's very much so cobbled
> together. HTML is hand generated. Static state is used liberally which makes
> testing near impossible. View and controller logic are tightly intertwined
> which also adds to the testability problem.
> I've been working on porting the functionality from the existing monitor to a
> proper rest service using
> [dropwizard|https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/]. It's not completely
> functional yet, but it has a number of improvements of the existing monitor
> code.
> I thought I would post what I have already and let people give some feedback
> if they're interested. Help is always welcome.
