Jetty is an open-source, standards-based, full-featured web server implemented
entirely in java. It is released under the Apache 2.0 licence and is therefore
free for commercial use and distribution.
Jetty can be used as:
* a stand-alone traditional web server for static and dynamic content
* a dynamic content server behind a dedicated HTTP server such as Apache
using mod_proxy
* an embedded component within a java application
Some of the defining features of Jetty are:
Simplicity: The guiding principle of Jetty could be said to be "simplicity not
complexity". We want to make Jetty easy to understand and use:
Efficiency: A lot of effort goes into optimizing Jetty's performance and
crafting the code so as to make the footprint as small as possible:
Embeddability: Jetty is designed to be a good component. This means that it can
easily be embedded in an application without forcing the application to adapt to
it:
Pluggability: Jetty is architected for pluggability. The API allows different
implementations of all of the principal Jetty components to be selected. At
least one, but sometimes more, implementations of a component are always
provided. However if these do not meet your needs, you are free to code your own
using the interfaces and abstract classes as a basis. This means that Jetty
can be easily customised to a particular application environment. This is
particularly useful when Jetty is acting as the web container in a J2EE server,
as Jetty's pluggability ensures a tight integration with a host container.
