When can support for Jetty 6 be expected?

Best regards,

Thomas,
I’ve filed an enhancement request to add a connector for this, but you can actually use the Jetty 5 connector to launch Jetty 6. Please let me know how that works out.

Well – I tried a couple of months back, but it didnt work – I’ll give it a go over the weekend and get back with my findings.

Thanks for the quick reply 🙂

Ahh ok I just checked our issue tracker. It actually works for starting the app server, but shutting it down doesn’t work, I think Jetty refactored some class locations. There is already an issue filed for this, I’ll push for it to get into 6.0

Maybe a more generic approach would be useful:

From http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Running, it looks like (I just started using Jetty today) stopping Jetty6 is a matter of running the command (for example):

java -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=secret -jar start.jar 

So maybe a text field labeled ‘Stop Command:’, which is generally executed out of the application server’s home directory would cover future unknowns.

Of course, the same strategy might be useful for startup (‘Start Command’) as well.

Just a thought…

oops. Shutdown is actually with the ‘–stop’ parameter:

java -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=secret -jar start.jar --stop
