AWI vs. Jetty service

[Rick Murray]

Hello everyone,

We are in the initial steps of the v12 to v21 upgrade, and wondering if anyone would like to share their experience with using the jetty service in place of the AWI server.

Our maximum number of consecutive users is probably < 10, so this has me thinking of the benefits and possible issues.

Thanks in advance

Rick

Hi Rick,

we're testing the jetty bundle since a couple of months with good experiences. For smaller user traffic there should be no problem. We have an average user count of 20 and didn't recognize any impact so far. 

What is important to mention. You have to set enough Java Heap via the Xmx params. Otherwise it could be that there isn't enough java memory to work fine.

Hi,

We have been using Tomcat for years and are quite happy with that. Problem is that Automic doesn't support Tomcat 10+, so we are kinda stranded on Tomcat 9.x. Jetty cannot be used to host the documentation, so we would still need some kind of application hosting service, which means we would noy gain anything by switching to Jetty.

Hi Keld,

I have just heard that Tomcat 10 will be supported with 24.4 - let's see ...

best,
Peter

We have been using Jetty for some time and have 100's of users at a time without any issues.

2 jetty and 1 AWI response so far.

Anyone else want to share their experiences with using the jetty connection, or maybe why they shy away from using it?

we have been using Jetty for a few months now. We have separate Servers for them, and use them with a LoadBalancer. We don't have any issues, but the loadbalancer needed a few adjustments for a stable connection. We have a few timeouts sometimes, but we already have some parameters to adjust (using the -Xmx for example) that will probably fix it. Simultaneous users... probably below 20 in Production, a few more in Test, so not so many.

We have been using jetty AWI for about six months and haven't had a problem.  We usually have on average around 40-50 sessions per jetty server.

How are you starting Jetty - - ServicesManager or Service?

[Jared Kessans]

We are using the ServiceManager.

[Cheryl Blosch]

Do you have it at the top then start JCPs and JWPs? My shutdown doesn’t work for me I have to hightlight them all now and say shutdown in the dialog box?

Thanks

Our AWI is on its own servers so the only items are the AWI and an agent listed in the ServiceManager.

As for the shutdown not working, if I am remembering correctly, I thought there was a version that had issues with the shutdown commands not propagating when issued.

I'm using Jetty, it's working fine in v21.0.10 and 24.3.  It's easy to start and manage with the service manager.
