Concise interface and command line tool to bootstrap embedded Jetty server. Due to implementation details the required Jetty version must be at least 9.0.1.
The main reason behind yet another embedded Jetty wrapper is that there is no really simple library available that allows bootstrapping a Jetty server from classpath resources using Servlet 3 annotations inside your favourite IDE. This wrapper is designed to be really simple and aimed for mostly developing purposes, but nothing prevents it to be used as a production server too.
While the wrapper leverages all the normal bootstrapping mechanisms, it also provides a concise interface to load static resources from classpath and load your web application from classpath or JAR only, without using the normal WAR packaging.
The main server access point is the EmbeddedJetty class which is configured using the
ServerConfig.
Bootstrapping the server using Servlet 3 annotations is as simple as:
ServerConfig serverConfig = new ServerConfig().setClasspath(true);
new EmbeddedJetty(serverConfig).run();The server configuration can be altered with the ServerConfig and more customization of the
server initialization can be done by customizing the ServerFactory.
ServerConfig serverConfig = new ServerConfig()
.setPort(9999)
.setPlus(true)
.setBaseResource("classpath:/resources")
.setDefaultServlet(true)
.setClasspath(true);
new EmbeddedJetty(serverConfig) {
@Override
protected ServerFactory createServerFactory() {
return new MyCustomServerFactory(serverConfig);
}
}.run();The command line interface is started from EmbeddedJettyCli and bundled as a shaded JAR with all
the required dependencies inside. All the ServerConfig settings are mapped as command line
options.
Running the command line server can be done as follows:
java -jar embedded-jetty-cli-<version>-shaded.jar -port 9999 -webApp /path/to/webapp.warThe project Embedded Jetty is licensed under the MIT license.
