Show of hands, tomcat versus jetty for idp v3?

[Walter Forbes Hoehn (wassa)]

We at the University of Memphis switched to jetty in conjunction with our move to IdPv3. We had experienced no particular problems with our old apache/tomcat-based system, but it seemed prudent at the time to align our new environment with what the developers were using rather than swimming against the tide.  It took a couple of days for us to get used to the new ways of doing things, but after that it has been smooth sailing, including when we upgraded jetty to a new version.
