Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Waldbieser, Carl" <>]

At Lafayette, we are happy with Tomcat and don't have a lot of incentive to 
change servlet containers.
Though if Grouper took the approach from the Apereo CAS project and had the 
option to run the service with the container embedded in it so we didn't need 
to worry about the container itself, I wouldn't particularly care about what 
the embedded container was.

We have non trivial investment in tomcat in terms of installer integration, 
number of institutions running it, working out the kinks over the years.

I would prefer to focus on new features rather than shift around the 
libraries unless there are significant gains.

However, Shib has interest in moving to Jetty, and TIER does like to be 
consistent.

I think the startup time is based on hibernate being slow and other Grouper 
startup checks, not based on the servlet container.  We can think about 
startup time in general (we mentioned it earlier today on the developer list 
:) )  But if someone wants to correct me please do :)

That being said, I wonder who uses Grouper with Jetty.  Maybe it will work 
for you and you wont need our support :)  Add your experience to your contrib 
page :)

Thanks
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Tomcat?

Hi all,

Are there any formal plans for moving Grouper away from Tomcat in terms of 
formal support?  Jetty is faster and simpler - my opinion, of course and I am 
always right!  (Humor folks, humor).  Yeah, I know, Tomcat is fine, no need 
to change.  Maybe compare startup times?  This will be my one and only 
request for this consideration.

Just curious….

C ya, bye.
