RUNNING JETTY

The run directory is either the top-level of a binary release or jetty-distribution/target/distribution directory when built from source.

To run with the default options:

$ cd demo-base $ java -jar ../start.jar

To see the available options and the default arguments provided by the start.ini file:

$ java -jar /path/to/start.jar --help

Many Jetty features can be enabled by using the --module command For example:

$ cd mybase $ java -jar /path/to/start.jar --module=https,deploy

Will enable the https and deploy modules (and their transitive dependencies) temporarily for this specific run of Jetty.

To see what modules are available

$ java -jar /path/to/start.jar --list-modules

JETTY BASE

The jetty.base property is a property that can be defined on the command line (defaults to what your java 'user.dir' property points to) Jetty's start.jar mechanism will configure your jetty instance from the configuration present in this jetty.base directory.

Example setup:

Create the base directory

$ mkdir mybase $ cd mybase

Initialize the base directory's start.ini and needed directories

$ java -jar /path/to/jetty-dist/start.jar --add-to-start=http,deploy

Run this base directory configuration

$ java -jar /path/to/jetty-dist/start.jar
