server-embedded

a simple playground to check the feasibility to embed a jetty and tomcat server inside am executable war

Quick start

Compile the project with maven

$ mvn clean package

Then launch the application using

$ java -jar ./app/target/app.war

The application is deployed inside a jetty server at the url

http://localhost:8080

The application exposed the following paths:

/	show the index.html content
/hello	show the content exposed by the HelloServlet class

Project structure

This project contains two maven's modules:

1. app: will produce the web app and contains the web.xml file and the Launcher that runs the embedded server.
2. core: contains only a servlet and a web-fragment.xml.

The original aim it was to define the servlet inside the fragment and let the jetty publish it using the J2EE spec against the web.xml and web-fragments. At the moment the fragment scanner has been disabled (with the metadata-complete="true") to minimize the startup time.
