Now that Jetty 12.0.1 is released to Maven Central, we’ve started to get a few questions about where some artifacts are, or when we intend to release them (as folks cannot find them). Things have change with Jetty, starting with the 12.0.0 release. First, is that our historical versioning of Read more…
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…
For the last 18 months, Webtide engineers have been working on the most extensive overhaul of the Eclipse Jetty HTTP server and Servlet container since its inception in 1995. The headline for the release of Jetty 12.0.0 could be “Support for the Servlet 6.0 API from Jakarta EE 10“, but 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.

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…
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 performance. The primary goal The Jetty project wanted an automated Read more…
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 before supporting in Jetty 12 and your responses will help 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…
