What are the advantages/disadvantages from running a spring application
using embedded jetty?

During development I am using the jetty mavin plugin that lets me fire up
the application and hot redeploys etc.

But now if I want to publish my code to my server, I want to know the
ramifications of going the embedded route.

My thoughts (from what I understand):

1.  If my application is embedded, I would have to push my new code,
manually stop the old process, and then start the new process.  Is this
correct?
If I have jetty running on its own 'standalone', I can keep jetty running
and just re-publish the .war file

2.  Jetty already has scripts to start/stop the service, but I guess I can
just reformat those to start/stop my embedded jetty instance.  I could do
this:

/myapp/datestamp/war here
/myapp/datestamp/war here

And then have a symbolic link to:

/myapp/current

And when I push a new release, I coudl update the symbolic link
/myapp/current to the latest datestamp folder.


Any other thoughts/considerations for embedded jetty?
