[jetty-discuss] Jetty vs. Another Web Server or J2EE Container

[Ron P. <ron...@mi...>]

Hi,
Could someone clear up the description of Jetty from the Main Page.

"Unlike separate server/container solutions, this means that your web server and

web application run in the same process, without interconnection overheads and

complications."

How is this different then say Tomcat loading your WAR file?  When I look at the

threads/processes in XP, I see only one java process running.  Are there other

app servers that spawn new processes?  Am I confused?

Also, why do some people want to use Jetty behind Apache instead of just using

Apache?  I assume so you can run J2EE pages, and Apache runs the normal html 

pages?

Thanks.
Ron
