Depends on what you serve a lot of. If it's anything but the page (i.e. css, js, png, img, etc etc), then you'll see better performance with Apache in front then jetty by itself. On the other hand, if you're serving mostly dynamic pages, then you won't see as much of a performance boost. However, ultimately, you're going to be better off putting Apache/Nginx in front. the performance concerns vs horizontal scaling options doing so are minor. A web server in front of the application server model allows you to easily add application servers to the mix. Running an application server alone won't do that. As with any talk of optimization, you should do it only when you have a problem. > Thus, I would like the option to remove Apache down the road.

The VM doesn't really work that way, and so gives you a layer of protection you don't have with a native app. http://math.hws.edu/eck/cs124/javanotes4/c9/s1.html is a nice summary of why. While Scala is not Java, it does run in the Java VM, using the compile Java Byte Code. > > Best, > Tamer > > On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 5:16 PM, Timothy Perrett > <timo...@getintheloop.eu>wrote: > >> I would recommend using Nginx or similar up front and using a reverse >> proxy setup - it is the most optiomal solution as Nginx can handle a vast >> number more connections than Jetty so it makes scaling your app easier on a >> single machine. >> >> Cheers, Tim >> >> On 17 Feb 2010, at 15:11, Jeppe Nejsum Madsen wrote: >> >> > On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 4:07 PM, Jeppe Nejsum Madsen <je...@ingolfs.dk> >> wrote: >> >> On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 3:40 PM, trizk <tsr...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > Ok, just reread your post and saw you want to run Jetty on port 80. >> > I've not tried this,I usually run a frontend (such as nginx) in front. >> > Not sure how the different distros support this ootb. >> > >> > The point about Maven still applies though :-) >> > >> > /Jeppe >> > >> > -- >> > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >> Groups "Lift" group. >> > To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com. >> > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> liftweb+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<liftweb%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> >> . >> > For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. >> > >> > >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Lift" group. >> To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> liftweb+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<liftweb%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> >> . >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. >> >> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Lift" group. > To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > liftweb+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<liftweb%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. > -- James A Barrows -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
