I too am confused about the use case scenario that would drive this?
Also, can we be more specific on the level of granularity that is being
considered here? Would it be just: 1 tomcat container, 1 jetty
container, both a single tomcat and a single jetty container? Or is it
also being considered that we would support multiple tomcat containers
and multiple jetty containers (possibly even at different container
versions).
Do any other application servers support multiple concurrent web
containers?
If it is decided that this is a valid scenario, then the implications of
this would ripple throughout the code. This is especially problematic
for the web console where we would have to visually keep track of
multiple containers, applications, connections, etc.. active on each
container, logs associated with each container, configuration attributes
of each container, etc... But I think this approach would have
significant implications for other components as well, including 3rd
party software that might need to interact with our server (such as
external management applications using JMX).

So, in more detail, I propose we ship:
-all the configurations, for both jetty and tomcat, installed
- 3 pairs of config.list and config.xml files that run both, only
jetty, and only tomcat
- both containers and builders running by default.
Hi Dave,
Both, by default? Interesting. Will there be a way in your proposal to
deploy a WAR to *both* containers? Since the defaultNamespace option
is to drive what container a WAR is deployed to I think the answer is
negative, isn't it? (or alternatively it could assume that no
defaultNamespace would mean both) If so, why would a user want to run
Jetty and Tomcat? I don't mind having two containers and builders
running at the same time, but wonder if there's a user case for it (a
web hosting provider?).
