Usage of the Jetty starter project

Introduction

Role of the Jetty starter project

The Jetty starter project contains a single Java class which is used by the pineapple-standalone-web-client project to start the Jetty web server and deploy the Pineapple web application to the server.

Building the class path for the Jetty server

Besides implementing logic to start Jetty the project also server the important purpose of defining the runtime class path for the started Jetty server.

The class path is defined through the dependencies of the Jetty starter project.

Invoking the JettyStarter class

The JettyStarter must be invoked with these mandatory system properties:

  • pineapple.jettystarter.home defines home directory for Jetty.
  • pineapple.jettystarter.host defines the host name on which Jetty listens.
  • pineapple.jettystarter.port defines the port number on which Jetty listens.

and this optional system property:

  • pineapple.jettystarter.stdoutlogging defines whether the Jetty Start will log to standard out. []
