When I work on a Railo cfml project I use Railo express locally. The jetty express package doesn't support SES URL's which is one reason to consider using the Resin express bundle.
More importantly to me is that the server I develop on is the same as the server I use in production ( on my VPS ). In this case that's resin. I run IIS and CF for my main job locally and really don't want to also run apache ( my VPS runs apache ) but Resin alone is close enough until I need to make sure my URL re-write work on Apache. As alot of my work involved Flex this isn't to often so using Railo Resin express locally is almost ideal.
The setup is extremely easy to get an out of the box setup going but there are a few tricks that I want to go over. The first thing I like to do is run the most recent jvm and also run in 64bit mode. Then update Railo to a recent version.
Here is the High Quality version:

I recommend this version as the embedded version is a little small to see whats going on.
Next post I will show how to add virtual hosts to Resin.
