Now that the HTTP/2 specification is in its final phases of approval, big players announced that they will remove support for SPDY in favor of long term support of HTTP/2 (Chromium blog). We expect others to follow soon. Based on this trend and feedback from users the Jetty Project is Read more
Greg Wilkins gave the following session at JavaOne 2014 about Servlet 3.1 Async I/O. It’s a great talk in many ways. You get to know from an insider of the Servlet Expert Group about the design of the Servlet 3.1 Async I/O APIs. You get to know from the person Read more
Five years ago we migrated the Jetty project from The Codehaus to the Eclipse Foundation. In that time we have pushed out 101 releases of Jetty 7 and Jetty 8, double that if you count the artifacts that had to remain at the Codehaus for the interim. Four years ago Read more
I’ll be attending JavaOne Sept 29 to Oct 1 and will be presenting several talks on Jetty: CON2236 Servlet Async IO: I’ll be looking at the servlet 3.1 asynchronous IO API and how to use it for scale and low latency. Also covers a little bit about how we are Read more
Following my previous post, several players tried their HTTP/2 implementation of draft 14 (h2-14) against webtide.com. A few issues were found and quickly fixed on our side, and this is very good for interoperability. Having worked many times at implementing specifications, I know that different people interpret the same specification Read more
The IETF HTTP working group has issued a last call for comments on the proposed HTTP/2 standard, which means that the process has entered the final stage of open community review before the current draft may become an RFC. Jetty has implemented the proposal already and this website is running Read more
Greg Wilkins (@gregwilkins) and I (@simonebordet) have been working on implementing HTTP/2 draft 14 (h2-14), which is the draft that will probably undergo the “last call” at the IETF. We will blog very soon with our opinions about HTTP/2 (stay tuned, it’ll be interesting!), but for the time being Jetty Read more
I wrote in the past about the support that was added to Jetty 9.1 to proxy HTTP requests to a FastCGI server. A typical configuration to serve PHP applications such as WordPress or Drupal is to put Apache or Nginx in the front and have them proxy the HTTP requests Read more
The auto discovery features of the Servlet specification can make deployments slow and uncertain. Working in collaboration with Google AppEngine, the Jetty team has developed the Jetty quick start mechanism that allows rapid and consistent starting of a Servlet server. Google AppEngine has long used Jetty for it’s footprint Read more
Jetty has always been a highly modular project, which can be assembled in an infinite variety of ways to provide exactly the server/client/container that you required. With the recent Jetty 9.1 releases, we have added some tools to greatly improve the usability of configuring the modules used by a server. Read more
