I am no expert in this, so my comments should be judged in that context. Right
now I run geoserver on windows 2008 R2.
Initially I ran geoserver under jetty. It was easy to roll out that way. After
reading numerous comments that tomcat gave better performance I switched and it
wasn't difficult to get tomcat installed or geoserver running under tomcat.
Geoserver is the only java servlet I run under tomcat. I have something less
than 1500 unique visitors a day hitting my geoserver. I do not think my
performance would be very much different under tomcat or jetty.
I know of a similar organization that runs under jetty and their performance is
good and the environment is stable.
Tomcat is going to be faster under a load, but I do not think my traffic
generates a great load.
So I would ask yourself how much traffic you expect and do you have a need to
run other java servlets.

Subject: [Geoserver-users] Tomcat or Jetty?
Hi List,
So, simple question: Should we stick with the default Jetty or go with Tomcat
instead, and more importantly - why? We're going to be using it on a Windows
Server 2008 R2.
What do other folks use? As Jetty already-works for us, is there a reason to
justify spending the time swapping to a unfamiliar package?
I'm surprised this hasn't been asked more often - a search of the archives only
found it once and the answer was simply "use tomcat" with no explanation of why.
Cheers,
Jonathan
