Jetty now supports annotations on managed beans with Sun’s JSF RI version 1.2_04. For the curious, the magic happens in the Jetty6InjectionProvider class that is distributed in the RI jars. However, that’s just an implementation detail. All you need to do is to mark up your jsf beans as usual Read more

Having had a couple of emails on the Jetty lists about using EJB3 with Jetty, I’ve been looking at the various embeddable technologies around. Last week I looked at the JBoss Embeddable EJB3 product and got it working in Jetty. I briefly also mentioned some work we’re doing with the Read more
JBoss have come up with an embeddable version of their EJB3 implementation. An alpha release is available for download. I downloaded it and played around with the embedded example from the tutorial.

Webtide has created a collection of maven webapp project archetypes which are Read more
Somebody recently brought it to my attention that there’s a rumour going around that you can’t run JIRA on Jetty. Sure enough, digging around on the Atlassian site showed up with this: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/v3.6.5/servers/jetty.html. Rising to the implicit challenge, I set out to make JIRA run under jetty 6.x. As it Read more
Running any user program on low port numbers on *nix systems is generally tricky, as low port numbers are protected and only accessible as the root user. In the past, jetty’s suggested solution has been to use iptables or ipchains to configure the operating system to forward traffic for port Read more
The guys at Atomikos, creators of the excellent JTA/XA transaction manager have decided to go open source. We first got to know Atomikos when we integrated it with Jetty5, and we’ve also done the integration with Jetty6. We’ll be working closely together again at Webtide to provide a tightly integrated Read more
Jetty Jspc Maven Plugin I’ve added a new maven2 plugin that does jsp pre-compilation. Just like the Jetty Maven Plugin, the new plugin detects whether jsp2.0 or jsp2.1 is required at runtime and generates the correct classes accordingly. All you need to do is to configure the plugin in your Read more
