Patterns for Servlet 3.0 suspend usage.
This blog presents 5 patterns of suspend usage for servlet-3.0, which can help explain the generic cases, provide a template for specific implementations and/or be the basis of frameworks to help developers.
JSR-315 Needs YOU!
Putting the C back into JCP for Servlet-3.0
The expert group for JSR 315 (servlet-3.0) has come to a bit of an impasse regarding some new features for auto discovery of servlets and filters. Some members of the EG have some security/flexibility concerns regarding these features, but others do not think the concerns significant enough to warrant additional complexity in configuration options.
In order to resolve this impasse, the EG has decided to solicit more community feedback. So this is my biased blog soliciting that feedback.

Use-Cases for Async Servlets
Servlet-3.0 API previews in Jetty-7.0.0pre0
Pre-release 0 of Jetty 7.0.0 is now available and includes a preview of the proposed Servlet 3.0 API for asynchronous servlets. This blog looks at 4 cool things you can do with asynchronous servlets and how they can be implemented using the proposed API.
Jetty Improves in Netcraft survey (again)
Jetty has 80% of Tomcats public servers
As with most open source projects, it's very hard to get a measure of who/how/where/why Jetty is being used a deployed. Downloads long ago became meaningless with the advent of many available bundling and distribution channels. The Netcraft Web Survey is one good measure, as it scans the internet and identifies which server sites run. In the results released April 2008, Jetty is identified for 278,501 public server, which is 80% of the market share of our closest "competitor" tomcat. If we exclude unknowns and others catagory, Jetty is currently 12th in the league table of identified servers of all types and closing in on a top 10 ranking .
Jesse Mcconnell at Webtide
and demonstrates asynchronous servlets
Jesse Mcconnell (of maven background) has joined Webtide. Jesse has been with us for several months now and we are really please to have his experience and skills being applied to the Jetty project and for Webtide clients.
Jesse has started a blog, and his first technical entry is a cracker! He's used the proposed async servlet 3.0 API to implement an asynchronous web services demonstration. This demonstration clearly shows the huge gains that are possible with an asynchronous approach.
