Introduction
THIS IS NOT THE DOCUMENTATION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!!!!!
All development and stable releases are being performed with Jetty 9 and Jetty 10.
This wiki is now officially out of date and all content has been moved to the Jetty Documentation Hub
Jetty itself has no temporary directories, but you can assign a directory for each web application, into which the WAR is unpacked, JSPs compiled on-the-fly, etc.
The algorithm for determining a webapp's temporary directory location is as follows:
- Try to use an explicit directory specifically for this webapp:
- Iff webapp.getTempDirectory() is set, use it. Do NOT delete it on jvm exit.
- Iff javax.servlet.context.tempdir context attribute is set for this webapp && exists && writeable, then use it. Do NOT delete on jvm exit.
- Create a directory based on global settings. The new directory will be called "Jetty_"host""port"'"context""+virtualhost :
- Iff $(jetty.home)/work exists create the directory there. Do NOT delete on jvm exit. Do NOT delete contents if dir already exists.
- Iff WEB-INF/work exists create the directory there. Do NOT delete on jvm exit. Do NOT delete contents if dir already exists.
- Else create dir in $(java.io.tmpdir). Set delete on jvm exit. Delete contents if dir already exists.
Be aware that a temporary directory will have its contents deleted when the webapp is stopped unless either
- It is called work.
- It pre-existed the deployment of the webapp.
Once a tempory directory has been allocated, a File instance for it is set and retrievable as the javax.servlet.context.tempdir attribute of the web application.
