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

I've written a library, EasyJetty, that makes it MUCH easier to embed Jetty. It is just a thin layer above the Jetty API, really light-weight.

Your example would look like this:

import com.athaydes.easyjetty.EasyJetty;

public class Sample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new EasyJetty().port(80).servlet("/*", MyApp.class).start();
    }

}
