Embedding Jetty

Jetty has been a popular servlet container for a long time; but until now I really didn't need an embedded servlet container. Now, I finally do and found many tutorials and guides. However, I didn't have much luck at first. I kept running into various conflicts. Then I found the jetty runner. This is the easiest way to do it. It only requires one jar file. Then create a script such as:

#!/bin/bash

JETTY=lib/resource/jetty-runner-7.0.1.v20091125.jar

DATA_DIR="$HOME/workspace/data/project"

echo "DATA_DIR dir is $DATA_DIR"
echo "Running Jetty..."

java -jar $JETTY --path / build/webapps/ROOT --path /s $DATA_DIR/s
