Overview

The Fulcrum Jetty Service allows embedding a Jetty HTTP server to serve HTTP request. The main focus is to add HTTP support to an existing non-web application. The tests also exercise JSPs and JAAS integration to make sure that everything is properly wired.

How to Test Manually

To make sure that Jetty is properly integrated run the following command line 

mvn -Pstandalone test

This will start the embedded Jetty and allows manual testing using http://localhost:9080/test/.

JSP Support

The fulcrum-jetty library ships without JSP support because

  • most people plainly don't need it and it adds a lot of baggage
  • for supporting JDK 1.4 and 1.5 different libraries are required
To help you with evaluating this options a 'jetty-with-jsp.xml' pom is provided which uses Maven profiles to build the library using JSP 2.0 and JSP 2.1.
