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
CometD 4.0.0 Released
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
Java Updates, Jetty, and the Future
There has been a tremendous amount of information, and a fair amount of disinformation, coming out over the last several months with regards to Java versioning, the effects of modularization, and how projects like Jetty may or may not respond
Fast MultiPart FormData
Jetty’s venerable MultiPartInputStreamParser for parsing MultiPart form-data has been deprecated and replaced by the much more efficient MultiPartFormInputStream, based on a new MultiPartParser. This is much faster, but less forgiving of non-compliant format. So we have implemented a legacy mode
Getting Started with Jetty and JDK 9
It’s finally here! Java 9 has officially been released and includes a whole host of changes and new functionality. Jetty, too, has been built with Java 9 over the past few releases as we ramp up support for the new JDK.
Conscrypting native SSL for Jetty
By default, Jetty uses the JSSE provider from the JVM for SSL, which has three significant problems: It’s slow! It doesn’t support ALPN in Java 8, which is needed for HTTP/2 It’s REALLY slow! There are workarounds for both problems:
Testing JDK 9 with Dynamic Module Switching
If you have been following Jetty’s adoption of Java 9, you might have read that builds using JDK 9 have started being produced. As the release of JDK 9 looms, developers are no doubt already doing everything they can to
Jetty ReactiveStreams HTTP Client
ReactiveStreams has gained a lot of attention recently, especially because of its inclusion in JDK 9 in the Flow class. A number of libraries have been written on top of ReactiveStreams that provide a functional-style API that makes asynchronous processing
Building Jetty with JDK 9
The Jetty Project has been trying to to build Jetty using JDK 9 for some time now. We still have a number of things to fix (a few test cases and integration with ASM for class scanning), but overall we have
Contributing to Open Source (and Jetty !)
Andres Almiray (aalmiray) interviewed me at the JCrete unconference. We spoke about the history of the Jetty project (which is 22 years old – like Java itself), how Jetty has been able to stay on the edge all these years,
