Welcome to the Jetty Documentation Wiki. Jetty is an open-source project providing an HTTP server, HTTP client, and javax.servlet container. This Jetty Wiki provides information about getting started with Jetty, basic configuration, specific features, optimization, security, JavaEE, monitoring, FAQs, help with troubleshooting, and more. It includes tutorials, howtos, videos, feature descriptions, and reference materials.

The documentation on this wiki applied to the older Jetty 7 and Jetty 8 releases. For Jetty 9 we have migrated and updated the content into a format easier to present. For Jetty 9 documentation please check out the Jetty 9 Documentation.
