For our typical enterprise application (serving 50-500 users at medium daily load) we prefer to deploy a Restlet application as an executable JAR file with an embedded Jetty. The JAR is run in different ways depending on the platform. On Linux, it usually gets wrapped with an init.d start/stop script. On Windows, it gets registered as a service using procrun. We've found this to be extremely reliable and extremely lightweight. Resources here are typically in MySQL (for the Linux users) or Microsoft SQL Server (for the Microsoft set) and/or an NFS or SAN filesystem.
