Thanks for all answers, I have decided to take a deeper look at Jetty. The only thing I have against Jetty is that it is from IBM! But that said their big, old office in Stockholm are now inhabited by birds and rats! i.e. not much have changed ...

All great answers. I'm going to throw my hat in the ring for Tomcat. Been an in production user, at global finance scale with millions of daily and 1000s of concurrent users*, for more than 20 years, since v4 (possibly v3 and the first releases). Issues will always be present, in your favorite tooling, even in the tooling you write. They are ever present trade-offs: "Can I live with this?" If the issues you have in Undertow are security related, the trade-offs may be made for you and you'll have to mitigate and chase patches. HTH, Tim * there's always the architecture involved that supports that, horizontally scaled instances, load balancers, session "umbrellas," and a little bit more. -- Timothy Stone ============= There are some that call me ...
