Which is your favorite and why? HTTP Java Servers standalone and embedded
hanasaki
I have been experimenting a bit with Tomcat and Jetty as jsp/servlet and
static HTTP servers for both standalone and embedded in my applications.
1. are there any others you would suggest? (opensource and free are very
important)
2. So far, both appear to have the expected functionality for WAR, JSP,
Servlet and static content. The API's of Jetty have been a bit easier
to deal with than tomcat IMO although Tomcat's are no deal breaker.
Both use NIO which is good. Jetty's errors for deployment issues are
not quite as informative as those of Tomcat - IMO
Key features needed:
Small footprint
HTTP 1.1 and HTTPS
JSP/Servlet NOT Needed
embeddable in a static Main Java Application
Listen ports settable
Supports Cookies
Supports functionality equivalent to Servlet filters
* Does not have to be limited to Jetty/Tomcat
