Jetty/Howto/Configure Jetty

Introduction

Jetty configuration is a combination of

• HTTP server configuration (ports, thread pools, buffers, etc.)
• Web container configuration (webapps deployment, security realms, JNDI etc.)
• Web application (init parameters, non standard options, etc.)

All Jetty configuration can be considered as calling setters on a collection of Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs), so that regardless of the actual method used, the apidocs are the ultimate resource for configuration.

Configuration can be achieved with:

• Embedded Jetty.
• Jetty XML used with jetty.xml and other files
• Spring XML.
• web.xml descriptors.
• Jetty maven plugin.

For more configuration references, see the Jetty Configuration Reference pages.
