<p>It seems that nginx is used with php, ruby and python. </p>

<p>Anyone has an example of how to setup nginx to work with jetty/tomcat in backend? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

nginx can forward via HTTP protocol, so just point it to the correct port and you're set:
```
```
server {
    location /anything {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/whatever;
    }
}
```
```
