Some people like adding Apache in front, but unless your environment
has some specific need (like authentication integration needs, or
maybe ssl termination) it seems unnecessary in most cases.
Also, I prefer Jetty over Tomcat -- both work of course, but Jetty has
been more embeddable, easier to configure for all kinds of deployments
and setups.
But one thing that I have found useful is DropWizard
(
http://dropwizard.codahale.com/), which is a framework built on top
of Jersey and. It runs on Jetty8/Jersey combination, configures POJO
(Jackson) JSON mapping, and produces a single runnable jar; configured
using a single json or yaml config file.
It really makes deployment a breeze.
