Executive Summary Virtual Threads, introduced in Java 19, are supported in Jetty 12, as they have been in Jetty 10 and Jetty 11 since 10.0.12 and 11.0.12, respectively. When virtual threads are supported by the JVM and enabled in Jetty (see embedded usage and standalone usage), applications are invoked using Read more
Introduction HTTP/3 is the next iteration of the HTTP protocol. HTTP/1.0 was released in 1996 and HTTP/1.1 in 1997; HTTP/1.x is a fairly simple textual protocol based on TCP, possibly wrapped in TLS, that experienced over the years a tremendous growth that was not anticipated in the late ’90s. With Read more
UnixDomain sockets support was added in Jetty 9.4.0, back in 2015, based on the JNR UnixSocket library. The support for UnixDomain sockets with JNR was experimental, and has remained so until now. In Jetty 10.0.7/11.0.7 we re-implemented support for UnixDomain sockets based on JEP 380, which shipped with Java 16. Read more
The Jetty Project just released the Jetty Load Generator, a Java 11+ library to load-test any HTTP server, that supports both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. The project was born in 2016, with specific requirements. At the time, very few load-test tools had support for HTTP/2, but Jetty’s HttpClient did. Furthermore, few Read more
Following the releases of Eclipse Jetty 10.0.0 and 11.0.0, the CometD project has released versions 5.0.3, 6.0.0 and 7.0.0. CometD 5.0.x Series CometD 5.0.x, of which the latest is the newly released 5.0.3, require at least Java 8 and it is based on Jetty 9.4.x. This version will be maintained Read more
Following the releases of Eclipse Jetty 10.0.0 and 11.0.0, the Reactive HttpClient project — introduced back in 2017 — has released versions 1.1.5, 2.0.0 and 3.0.0. Reactive HttpClient 1.1.x Series Reactive HttpClient Versions 1.1.x, of which the latest is the newly released 1.1.5, requires at least Java 8 and it Read more
Introduction The Jetty Project provided to the Java community support for NPN first (the precursor of ALPN) in Java 7, and then support for ALPN in Java 8. The ALPN support was implemented by modifying sun.security.ssl classes, and this required that the modified classes were prepended to the bootclasspath, so Read more
At the Jetty Project we have been getting reports from the community as well as seeing random failures of load tests and benchmarks that were using TLS, and the failures were only happening with Java 11 (any version up to 11.0.2). Jetty users also saw TLS failures in their environments Read more
Jetty and the Java Module System. Java 9 introduced the arguably biggest change in the Java platform since its inception, the Java Module System (a.k.a. Project Jigsaw, or Java Platform Module System – JPMS). The Java Module System primarily targets the modularization of the JDK itself, but can also be Read more
The CometD Project is happy to announce the availability of CometD 4.0.0. CometD 4.0.0 builds on top of the CometD 3.1.x series, bringing improvements and new features. You can find a migration guide at the official CometD documentation site. What’s new in CometD 4.0.0 The main theme behind CometD 4.0.x Read more
