Jetty/Howto/Configure Jetty with XBean

Introduction

Jetty7 supports XBean. This allows you to use a neat, compact XML format to customize Jetty within an XBean configuration file, along with configuring other Geronimo projects like ActiveMQ or ServiceMix.

Configuring Jetty in an XBean Configuration File

The following example shows how to configure Jetty inside an XBean configuration file.

<beans>
  <jetty xmlns="http://mortbay.com/schemas/jetty/1.0">
    <connectors>
      <nioConnector port="8181" />
    </connectors>

    <handlers>
      <webAppContext contextPath="/" resourceBase="/tmp/webapp" parentLoaderPriority="false" />
    </handlers>
  </jetty>
</beans>
