Grin. I did this too (embed Jetty, rather than force a complex Java app into the straitjacket of a JEE container). Worked great. YMMV, and my use case was different (and more complex) than the one described here, but I got servlets and WS-* added to an existing app without having to break the app to fit the JEE mold, and without web.xml Hell. I'd definitely do it again, in similar circumstances.
