hi Steve, I'm a Tomcat user. from what I read on the web, I believe Jetty does outperform Tomcat significantly in static pages and also outperform Tomcat to a unknown degree in dynamic pages. so, why i still choose Tomcat?
My main consideration is in scalability. Multiple instance of Tomcat can be run and load balanced with Apache and mod_jk. I believe it can achieve a very high scalability in handling simultanceous requests. Other considerations are: good integration with other Apache and commercial products, better support (i personally think the 'support' from Apache group is better than other open src groups), full implementation of JCP specification etc. And Tomcat should not be used together with Apache if there is heavy loading of static pages. Other than Tomcat and Jetty, Resin is also quite famous. And there are other commercial choice like WebLogic, JRun and Orion. You should make decision base on your need. In my opinion, if your site is small in scale, and requires a very good response time, then Jetty or Resin are your choice. Otherwise, Tomcat is a good choice in general and it is a proven product. It occupies about 50% of the servlet engine market as of mid 2001. (http://www.devx.com/judgingjava/articles/sixyears/printable/sixyearsp2.asp# fig7) Any comment are welcome!
