Thanks Matthew, the http://wiki.openbluedragon.org/wiki/index.php/Single_Instance_Install seem to cover most of what I want. I will try to get virtual directories from there. I still think a dedicated section in the docs about jetty/tomcat/jboss etc would be a good idea. Not only to discuss the specific setting, but also for outlining and discussing the differences. I think that when you have selected a servlet engine once, you will stick with it. So you better make the right choice :)
