The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) is a Java API for a directory service that allows Java clients to discover and lookup data and objects via name. Data sources, Mail Servers or Messaging queues are among the common objects that can be discovered through JNDI. JNDI lookup strategy abstracts applications from the external resources and makes them more configurable. ...

JSP (JavaServer Pages) which is core part of Java EE, enables developers to create dynamic web content based on the Java Servlet technology. In this example, we are going to enable Jetty for JSP. We will start with Embedded mode of Jetty. We are going to initialize our embedded Jetty to run JSP pages. Thereafter we will continue with standalone ...

JMX technology provides a simple, standard way of managing resources such as applications, devices, and services. Jetty itself does not provide a GUI based console for management/monitoring, however ii presents a solid integration with JMX, which enables us to monitor/manage Servers through JMX. In this post we are going to discuss JMX integration of Jetty. We will start with an ...

Jetty provides support for standard authentication methods BASIC, DIGEST, FORM and CLIENT-CERT as well as other pluggable mechanisms like JASPI and SPNEGO. Jetty also offers a set of built-in Login Service alternatives for authenticating the user along with extension capabilities. In this example we will configure authentication in Jetty. Among the various alternatives, we have chosen BASIC authentication for this ...

The OSGi specification defines a modularization and component model for Java applications. Jetty leverages OSGi support providing an infrastructure that enables developers to deploy Jetty and web applications inside an OSGi container. One can deploy traditional Java Web Applications or Context Handlers on Jetty within the OSGi container; in addition to this, OSGi bundles can be deployed as web applications. ...

In this example, we will elaborate Resource Handlers in Jetty. Jetty Handlers are classes that are used for handling the incoming requests. They implement the interface org.eclipse.jetty.server.Handler on their specific purpose. Resource Handler is a specific Handler implementation whose purpose is serving static content (images, html pages or other) through a Jetty Server. In this example, we are going to start with an Embedded Jetty ...

In this example, we will configure Jetty web applications through deployment descriptor files. Typically in a Java web application, the deployment descriptor file is named as web.xml, which includes application-wide configuration. In addition to this, a common deployment descriptor can be defined for a Jetty. This common descriptor is container-wide and includes configuration which is applicable to all of the ...

In this example, we will discuss logging capabilities of Jetty. We will first enable the logging module in Jetty and configure it afterwards. As in the previous Jetty examples, we will start with standalone Jetty; thereafter we will configure logging for Embedded Jetty server too. We are going to use Jetty v9.2.11 in this example, along with Java 8 (7 ...

In this example, we are going to configure SSL on Jetty Server. We are first generate SSL key and certificates using OpenSSL. Then we will configure our Jetty to use the generated certificate. Thereafter we will deploy a sample web application using SSL. Finally, we will configure an Embedded Jetty Server programmatically in order to facilitate access to secured resources connection over SSL ...

1.Introduction This article is about WebSockets with Jetty. In this example we will give brief information on WebSockets and show how to implement WebSocket Servers and Clients using Jetty WebSocket APIs. In addition to these, an example HTML+JavaScript client interacting with the Server through WebSockets will be provided. 2.WebSockets WebSocket is a standard protocol facilitating full-duplex communication over a single ...
