David is assuming you are asking about the Apache Java based http server (and servlet/jsp engine) Tomcat. If you really meant the Apache HTTPd server, the reason we don't ship with it is HTTPd is written in C and must be compiled to each platform where our distributions will run on a generic Java VM.

The reasons are primarily historical: the main Jetty developers were some of the geronimo founding members and most of us have a lot more experience with Jetty than Tomcat. There is a Tomcat integration and several people are working on it, however it is not yet completely integrated and functional. I think the Tomcat work is somewhat sidelined at the moment in our effort to finish j2ee certification. We would certainly welcome help in finishing the Tomcat integration.

Many thanks,

Hi,
Somebody surely already put the question, but I did not find an answer, then I ask it nevertheless: Why is Geronimo default with Jetty and not HTTP Apache Server integrated ? Is it a licence problem ?


Thanks
