Jetty History

Question Mark.pngWhy is it called Jetty?
Jetty was originally developed by Greg Wilkins of Mort Bay Consulting.

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.


Asking Questions

Question Mark.pngHow do I submit a question?
You can get some help from the Jetty community by posting a question to the jetty-users@eclipse.org mailing list. When posting, please be sure to include as a minimum the following information:
  1. Jetty version 1
  2. Browser version 2
  3. OS platform
  4. JVM version
  5. 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.


Choosing Between Sites

Question Mark.pngHow do I know I am using the correct Jetty web site for my particular needs? Should I be on codehaus or Eclipse and why?
For downloading the latest Jetty and viewing the latest documentation you should be on Eclipse. For old versions of Jetty, RPMs, Debs, Hightide, and old documentation use codehaus. For support see Webtide. For more information on this topic see About Jetty.


Upgrading from Jetty 6 to Jetty 7

Question Mark.pngI have been using previous versions of Jetty from the Jetty 6 line, is Jetty 7 a drop in replacement?

Also, the Jetty 7 milestones are not as fully featured as Jetty 6 in terms of third party integrations being available by default with the distribution bundle. For porting instructions, see the next question.


Upgrading Jetty Versions

Question Mark.pngHow do I port my application to Jetty [version]?
We've written some handy guides to help you port your application from older versions of Jetty, or from other web servers. Please see the Upgrades section of our Getting Started documentation, for a complete list.
