Servlet adapter and Netty

[Nicholas Hagen]

Why not just front everything with Apache and its proxy capabilities.  I use this often and it has good performance as far as I can tell.  Then, you can run whatever app server you want, whatever websocket server you want, and Netty.  HTTP will make sure, depending on the path or other criteria you specify, to forward to the proper server.  Servlets are very complicated entities, especially to shoehorn into an NIO environment where you do not use one thread per connection.
