Servlet for serving static content

Question

I deploy a webapp on two different containers (Tomcat and Jetty), but their default servlets for serving the static content have a different way of handling the URL structur

Answer 1

Use org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler. You don't need additional components like StaticServlet.

At the jetty home,

$ cd contexts

$ cp javadoc.xml static.xml

$ vi static.xml

...

/static
/static/

  
    max-age=3600,public
  
 

Set the value of contextPath with your URL prefix, and set the value of resourceBase as the file path of the static content.

It worked for me.
