Hi Joe- http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/06/14/what-is-jetty.html?page=1 The tradeoff seems to be with tomcat you can teach your grandmother to load and deploy a webapp war But if your grandmother likes to program she can programmatically instantiate container(s), getContext(s) and control(start/stop) the Server service There are times when a tomcat feature is so lightly documented that the Tomcat feature would take less time (and be easier to implement) in code

Very simple tasks! I have a few Servlets and a few simple JSPs and a little bit of static content (html files and images) that I need it to run. No other external things, like no DB or anything else. No need for any other fancy features. Really it's just to host some example JSPs on a local server. Right now I'm looking into Jetty, which looks like it can run a war file from the command line. I might be able to modify that to use the same jar for the server classes AND the web app files. But I've never used Jetty for anything, and I would prefer to stay with familiar territory, namely Tomcat. Any ideas would be appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
