Jetty 9.3.15.v20161216 发布,一个servlet容器

Jetty 是一个开源的servlet容器，它为基于Java的web内容，例如JSP和servlet提供运行环境。Jetty是使用Java语言编写的，它的API以一组JAR包的形式发布。开发人员可以将Jetty容器实例化成一个对象，可以迅速为一些独立运行（stand-alone）的Java应用提供网络和web连接。

和Tomcat的比较：

Jetty更轻量级。这是相对Tomcat而言的。
由于Tomcat除了遵循Java Servlet规范之外，自身还扩展了大量JEE特性以满足企业级应用的需求，所以Tomcat是较重量级的，而且配置较Jetty亦复杂许多。但对于大量普通互联网应用而言，并不需要用到Tomcat其他高级特性，所以在这种情况下，使用Tomcat是很浪费资源的。这种劣势放在分布式环境下，更是明显。换成Jetty，每个应用服务器省下那几兆内存，对于大的分布式环境则是节省大量资源。而且，Jetty的轻量级也使其在处理高并发细粒度请求的场景下显得更快速高效。
Jetty更灵活
体现在其可插拔性和可扩展性，更易于开发者对Jetty本身进行二次开发，定制一个适合自身需求的Web Server。相比之下，重量级的Tomcat原本便支持过多特性，要对其瘦身的成本远大于丰富Jetty的成本。用自己的理解，即增肥容易减肥难。
然而，当支持大规模企业级应用时，Jetty也许便需要扩展，在这场景下Tomcat便是更优的。
