What you described is almost exactly the same as Tomcat (dropping a .war
file in the directory and such). I have also been looking at Jetty and Resin
(http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/) but still have not much reason to switch
from Tomcat 5.5.x because it has worked so well for me.

Could you describe more specifically why you think it is an alternative to
Tomcat - or why you feel you need to stray from Tomcat (pun intended :-).

Subject: Jetty 5.1.10 - an alternative to Tomcat.

Just for the record.

The other day I tried whether Jetty (http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/) would
run under V5R3, and - yes - it would.

I downloaded jetty-5.1.10.zip to my PC and copied to \\host\tmp.  Logged in
and started "qsh".

    cd /tmp
    jar xvf jetty-5.1.10.zip
    cd jetty-5.1.10
    java -jar start.jar

After a while Jetty is ready (await line with "Started
org.mortbay.jetty.Server@" in it).

On PC browse to "http://host:8080";, and get a 404 error "No context on this
server matched or handled this request."

You may then browse the template and javadoc applications.

To deploy other web applications (war files) drag and drop them to
\\host\tmp\jetty-5.1.10\webapps, and restart jetty (in another qsh-session
run "java -jar stop.jar" and start it again with "java -jar start.jar").

Hopefully this is of use to somebody - jetty is a quite nice alternative to
Tomcat :)
