We use Jetty's ability to do both sync and async HTTP in RingoJS. I've written about it here: http://hns.github.com/2010/07/02/versatility.html http://hns.github.com/2010/07/02/versatility.html I think Netty is great if you want fine grained control over each aspect of your network stack and/or ultimate performance. But having a full featured web server that does sync and async equally well is a value that shouldn't be dismissed either.
