Bruce et all, On behalf of the Jetty team, can I say that we're delighted to hear the GWT team is considering using Jetty for hosted mode.
According to NetCraft statistics, Jetty has around 70-80% of the market share of Tomcat for *visible* deployed servers. Of course, as Jetty is embedded in numerous products, like Eclipse IDE and Grails, then actually the number of Jetty installations out there is muuuuuuch bigger :) And there are some very very large production sites that run under Jetty, but mostly these commercial sites obscure the server id. As you probably already know, Jetty has been a leader in the area of async. servlet processing (aka "Continuations": http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Continuations) and we've already integrated this capability into the GWT remoting framework (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/GWT) - we'd love to work with the GWT team to make that integration even better. As far as Jetty/Tomcat differences go, since servlet spec 2.5 there is much less scope for spec ambiguities to cause different behaviour between the 2 servers, and generally speaking what runs on one will run on the other. We've hardly received any portability issues at all since spec 2.5. Of course, should a portability issue arise, we're more than happy to work with the GWT team to resolve it. best regards Jan On Oct 14, 9:48 am, "Bruce Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > Hope you're enjoying 1.5. > > The GWT team has started putting together a 1.6 roadmap, which we'll publish > as soon as we have it nailed down.
