Eclipse Jetty® - Examples

This is a collection of examples of how to use various features present in the Eclipse Jetty server and Eclipse Jetty client.

There are a few major categories of examples.

Embedded Examples

Using Embedded Jetty is extremely powerful way to include Jetty in your Java application using Code (instead of configuration) to setup a Jetty server or Jetty client.

Here you will see answers to common questions about how to integrate various features of Jetty, and also how to enable features of 3rd party libraries within Jetty (such as JSP, REST, and CDI).

See embedded/README.md for a breakdown of embedded examples.
