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
UnixDomain Support in Jetty
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
Jetty & Log4j2 exploit CVE-2021-44228
The Apache Log4j2 library has suffered a series of critical security issues (see this page at the Log4j2 project). Eclipse Jetty by default does not use and does not depend on Log4j2 and therefore Jetty is not vulnerable and thus
The Jetty Performance Effort
One can only improve what can be reliably measured. To assert that Jetty’s performance is as good as it can be, doesn’t degrade over time and to facilitate future optimization work, we need to be able to reliably measure its
Eclipse Jetty Servlet Survey
This short 5-minute survey is being presented to the Eclipse Jetty user community to validate conjecture the Jetty developers have for how users will leverage JakartaEE servlets and the Jetty project. We have some features we are gauging interest in
Less is More? Evolving the Servlet API!
With the release of the Servlet API 5.0 as part of Eclipse Jakarta EE 9.0 the standardization process has completed its move from the now-defunct Java Community Process (JCP) to being fully open source at the Eclipse Foundation, including the
Introducing Jetty Load Generator
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
A story about Unix, Unicode, Java, filesystems, internationalization and normalization
Recently, I’ve been investigating some test failures that I only experienced on my own machine, which happens to run some flavor of Linux. Investigating those failures, I ran down a rabbit hole that involves Unix, Unicode, Java, filesystems, internationalization and
Community Projects & Contributors Take on Jakarta EE 9
With the recent release of JakartaEE9, the future for Java has never been brighter. In addition to headline projects moving forward into the new jakarta.* namespace, there has been a tremendous amount of work done throughout the community to stay
Do Looms Claims Stack Up? Part 2: Thread Pools?
“Project Loom aims to drastically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications that make the best use of available hardware. … The problem is that the thread, the software unit of concurrency, cannot match the scale
