Advantage/Disadvantages of oracle ORDS in standalone mode

I am wondering if anyone can guide me about the advantages or disadvantages of using oracle ORDS in standalone mode versus using it with some server such as Glassfish or Tomcat.

I am using ords 3.09 if that makes any difference

For standalone ORDS, we use Jetty ( www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/ ). Jetty is a very capable webserver that on my laptop scale to 200+ rest calls per second. There deeper details on it's scaling abilities here: http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/high-load.html

The best advantage is it simply works, scales, easy to get up and running. We use this in Oracle Cloud DBCS so it works in production just dandy.

The disadvantage is mainly it's a purpose built and configured web server for ORDS. If someone needs more general web server features, it'd best to use WLS / Tomcat / Glassfish.
