Communication
How do I submit a question?
- Jetty version 1
- Browser version 2
- OS platform
- JVM version
- Command line
If your problem involves a complex webapp, please try and provide us with just a small webapp instead that also demonstrates the problem.
Debug logs, packet traces from tools such as ethereal or copies of the HTTP dialog as captured by tools such as Firefox "Live HTTP Headers" are always useful.
(1) If you are using a snapshot version, please look in your local maven repo for a maven-metadata-xxxx.xml file. The xxxx part is the name you have given the mortbay snapshot repo at http://jetty.mortbay.org/maven2/snapshot in your pom.xml. Report the snapshot number contained in it.
(2) Include this information if relevant to your problem.
How do I access the Jetty mail lists? Where do I view the mailing list archives?
Is there public IRC access?
Where do I read the Jetty blogs?
Jetty Project History
Why is it called Jetty?
Mort Bay is at the heart of Balmain, Sydney NSW, Australia. A former working class suburb, now yuppieville in Sydney's close inner-west.
Greg was living by Mort Bay when the company was formed, hence the company name.
Jetty was originally called IssueTracker (its original application) and then MBServler (Mort Bay SERVLet servER). Neither of these were much liked, so Jetty was finally picked as:
- it starts with a J
- jetty:// looks a little like http://
- there is a jetty in the Mort Bay logo.
- there were no better suggestions.
Jetty Versions
How do I know I am using the correct Jetty web site for my particular needs? Should I be on codehaus or Eclipse and why?
How do I know which version of Jetty I am running?
I have been using previous versions of Jetty from the Jetty 6 line, is Jetty 7 a drop in replacement?
How do I port my application to Jetty [version]?
Are Maven 2 artifacts still available?
Others
Can you recommend some useful web developer tools?
These tools have nothing to do specifically with Jetty; they're just a list of tools we find useful in developing and diagnosing misbehaving webapps:
Browsers and GUI Tools
- Firefox - open source browser.
- Web Developer plugin for Firefox - all sorts of tools to help you develop and debug your HTML and CSS.
- Firebug plugin for Firefox - DOM inspector plus a lot more.
- Poster Plugin for Firefox - lets you do POSTs, GETs, PUTs, etc and see the results.
- DOM Inspector plugin for Firefox - DOM inspector.
- Venkman plugin for Firefox - legendary javascript debugger.
Http Protocol Analysis
- LiveHttpHeaders plugin for Firefox - shows you the HTTP dialog between browser and server.
- Tamper Data plugin for Firefox - shows you the HTTP dialog and allows you to modify
- Wireshark - network protocol analyzer.
