[jetty-discuss] Re: How many simple webbaps can jetty support

[Greg W. <gr...@mo...>]

I'm not recommending anything :-)  All care - no responsiblity :-)

I'm simply pointing out that if you are REALLY worried about
one webapp compromising another webapp, then separate JVMs is
going to be better.   But it will eat a lot more system
resources etc. etc.

But you can definitely run within a single JVM.  But Jetty makes
no representations as to the security of that arrangement and you
have to do your own security audit.

cheers
