Shortest code to start embedded Jetty server

Question

I\'m writing some example code where an embedded Jetty server is started. The server must load exactly one servlet, send all requests to the servlet and listen on localhost:80

Answer 1

You could configure Jetty declaratively in a Spring applicationcontext.xml, e.g:

http://roopindersingh.com/2008/12/10/spring-and-jetty-integration/

then simply retrieve the server bean from the applicationcontext.xml and call start... I believe that makes it one line of code then... :)

((Server)appContext.getBean("jettyServer")).start();

It's useful for integration tests involving Jetty.
