The SPDY protocol will be the next web revolution. The HTTP-bis working group has been rechartered to use SPDY as the basis for HTTP 2.0, so network and server vendors are starting to update their offerings to include SPDY support. Jetty has a long story of staying cutting edge when Read more…
Jetty 9’s NIO code is a nearly complete rewrite with improved architecture, cleaner and clearer code base and best of all it’ll be even faster and more efficient than jetty 7/8’s NIO layer. Detecting concurrent code issues is usually not a trivial thing. In today’s blog I will describe how Read more…
Simone Bordet and I spoke at JavaOne this year about the evolution of web protocol and how HTTP is being replaced by WebSocket (for new semantics) and by SPDY (for better efficiency). The demonstration of SPDY Push is particularly good at showing how SPDY can greatly improve the latency of Read more…
Creating WebSockets in Jetty is even easier with Jetty 9! While the networking gurus in Jetty have been working on the awesome improvements to the I/O layers in core Jetty 9, the WebSocket fanatics in the community have been working on making writing WebSockets even easier. The initial WebSocket implementation Read more…
Jetty 9 milestone 0 has landed! We are very excited about getting this release of jetty out and into the hands of everyone. A lot of work as gone into reworking fundamentals and this is going to be the best version of jetty yet! Anyway, as promised a few weeks Read more…
Here we are with summer coming to an end, the kids going back to school, and lots of software projects yet to complete before year end. What are the options we have for our development projects? Should we buy commercially packaged software, have our own people create what we Read more…
Development on Jetty-9 has been chugging along for quite some time now and it looks like we’ll start releasing milestones in around the end of September. This is exciting because we have a lot of cool improvements and features coming that I’ll leave to others to blog about in specific Read more…
The IETF HTTPbis Working Group recently called for expressions of interest in the development of the HTTP/2.0 protocol, with SPDY being one of the candidates to use as a basis. As a HTTP server and an early implementer of the SPDY protocol, the Jetty project certainly has an interest in Read more…
We keep pushing our SPDY implementation and with the upcoming Jetty release we provide a fully functional SPDY proxy server out of the box. Simply by configuration you can setup Jetty to provide a SPDY connector where clients can connect to via SPDY and will be transparently proxied to a Read more…
I’ve done a quick run with the Page Benchmarker Extension on chromium to measure the difference between http and SPDY + push. Enabling benchmarks restricts chromium to SPDY draft 2 so we’ll run without flow control. Note that the website is not the fastest (in fact it’s pretty slow). But Read more…
