Jetty 5.1.10 - an alternative to Tomcat.

[Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen <thunderaxiom@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just for the record.

The other day I tried whether Jetty (http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/) 
would run under V5R3, and - yes - it would.

I downloaded jetty-5.1.10.zip to my PC and copied to \\host\tmp.  Logged 
in and started "qsh".

   cd /tmp
   jar xvf jetty-5.1.10.zip
   cd jetty-5.1.10
   java -jar start.jar

After a while Jetty is ready (await line with "Started 
org.mortbay.jetty.Server@" in it).

On PC browse to "http://host:8080";, and get a 404 error "No context on 
this server matched or handled this request."

You may then browse the template and javadoc applications.

To deploy other web applications (war files) drag and drop them to 
\\host\tmp\jetty-5.1.10\webapps, and restart jetty (in another 
qsh-session run "java -jar stop.jar" and start it again with "java -jar 
start.jar").

Hopefully this is of use to somebody - jetty is a quite nice alternative 
to Tomcat :)
