Hi Jan and Lothar,

Thanks again for the help. Yes, Grails is a Tomcat world. According to the
Tomcat plugin’s page (http://www.grails.org/plugin/tomcat), it’s used by
100% of Grails users. Of course, that’s 100% of the users who report
statistics.

I did not realize that Jetty 7 does not support servlet 3.0. That is an
Atmosphere Framework requirement, so I’ll have to let my plugin user know
the bad news.

The Jetty plugin (http://www.grails.org/plugin/jetty) is maintained by the
Grails core developers, so I don’t know why it’s so far behind
version-wise. At least I didn’t know before Lothar’s reply.

The plugin implements EmbeddableServer (
https://github.com/grails-plugins/grails-jetty/blob/master/src/groovy/org/grails/jetty/JettyServer.groovy),
but without 3.0 support there’s not much I can do.

Ken
