First of all, Jetty embedded design is indeed usually come into contact with tomcat, jboss and weblogic does not have this kind of design has given web testing become more flexible. But my personal contacts on the project, the use of embedded testing methods are not a lot of opportunities. I think the advantage during the debugging interface, especially when testing Ajax reflects.
Secondly, the article said that a lot of Jetty's small size easy to carry, start very fast, only about two seconds; me download the Jetty version 6.1.5, size 24M, although there is a lot of it is not necessary to restart the server, but not because of distinguish, let me just start do not think there's so little imagination, and I now use it only download tomcat5.5.27 core 7M, boot speed is about 2 seconds, so I think this also is no longer a tomcat as previously Well, the bulky.
Again, usually used in data sources, JNDI configuration of Jetty and so on are also similar and tomcat configuration.
To do so at the above-mentioned simple understanding, for the development of my habits, I think it's tomcat to use is also very convenient for the time being I do not count the use of large Jetty replace tomcat.
IBM has several articles on web Jetty introduction of the article is also well worth a visit, and know the characteristics of Jetty have must assist.
