Embedded vs Stand alone Tomcat ( HTTP ) server

Viewed 14218

I am working on a new project which would be a web application with a front end UI and a back end web service. I started looking into what servers to use like Tomcat / Jetty and so .. I also noticed that there is an embedded version of these HTTP servers. I don't understand when to use an embedded version against a standalone version. I tried googling but could not find a convincing answer, So would appreciate if some one to explain me the use-case for an embedded server. Thanks in advance.
