Thanks for the replies folks. Given I only anticipate 100-200 unique users
a day, I guess Jetty should be fine. Minimal configuration on our end and
we can swap to Tomcat later anyway.
Heading slightly off-topic with the newer-jetty stuff, but I downloaded the
latest Jetty 8 stable (8.1.10.v20130312) - it seems to be a drop in
replacement for Jetty 6. No special configuration required, just worked.
The only "issue" I've had to far is that it didn't like my jetty-web.xml
"fix" to allow POSTing large style layers. So I deleted that file and it
turns out that fix isn't even necessary with Jetty 8!
It may be confirmation bias, but Jetty 8 does seem faster, certainly the
admin interface is more responsive.
I appreciate your point Andrea about limited dev resources. On the other
hand GeoServer is shipping with a four year old web-server (an age on the
Internet) that has since received as best I can tell a considerable number
of security fixes just in the 6.x branch. Unfortunately most folks (myself
included) lack the technical aptitude to offer patches, so we rely on
the generosity of the developers in giving their time. For my part I try
and reciprocate with my QA skills by adding to your jira issue count. ;-)
I'll open an improvement request per your suggestion.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
