For the last couple of jetty @ eclipse releases I have been working with getting a bit more used to the eclipse way of doing things. One of those 'eclipse way' deals is the p2 update site and I am announcing here the availability of a certain subset of jetty features that are available for download from within eclipse. What does this actually mean?

Jetty @ Eclipse - Jetty7 and Jetty8 (and Jetty6)
I have had a lot of inquiries about what is going on with the latest versions of jetty being talked about and what they mean to our users so I figured I would give clearing it up a shot.

As avid users of jetty are bound to have caught wind of, jetty7 is in the process of migrating to the Eclipse Foundation as a component of the Eclipse Runtime. We even already have our own happy little news group which we need to get into the habit of checking and using more. The milestone in the process we have in sight right now is the next Creation Review date which is March 11, 2009. We are ironing out the requirements for a successful review and all indications are positive on that note. Oh, and one of the requirements that we have two mentors that are on the Architectural Council, the first already being Jeff McAffer of EclipseSource fame and the most recent being Bjorn Freeman-Benson of the Eclipse Foundation itself.

The results are in for the Febuary 2009 Netcraft Survey and the news is great for Jetty! In January the sites reported using Jetty was at 258k and this month it is at over 289k! That is an increase of over 31k sites in just a month.

First off, I think I like wicket, its a pretty neat framework and it has some pretty solid integration with ajax which is interesting. I have to say though that having spent a lot of time on the whole long polling, ajax push, cometd type of communication approach the whole idea of ajax polling back to a server for a bit of content seems kinda quaint.

Safari Caching and Embedding Jetty
What was recently noticed was that with Safari (at least version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1)) the Last-Modified: header was not enough to achieve even minimal caching. With Firefox simply returning the Last-Modified: header would cache static content for a while but not so with Safari _if_ the Date: header was missing. So...the Date: header appears to be a required header for Safari to use the Last-Modified: header for basic static content caching.

Well, the blog seems to have moved to its new site successfully so its time to start adding some more entries up now and then. First and foremost I want to extend an invitation to users of jetty to meet up with me at the 2008 ApacheCon in New Orleans in a couple of weeks.

Jan and I have run across some annoying problems with test cases and test scoping within jetty recently and it has lead to some discussion on an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. The problem was that we have some useful test cases which are in the form of jetty server configurations in the jetty module and maybe a couple of other module, but since they are test source they are not readily available for consumption in other modules.[Read More]

The trunk of jetty has undergone some substantial changes over the last couple of weeks. In addition to jetty 7 now requiring a minimum version of jdk 1.5 and the default inclusion of the early servlet 3.0 spec, there have been a number of structural changes a bit more near and dear to my heart. It leverages a bit more maven2![Read More]

Asynchronous Content Aggregation with Servlet 3.0
Jetty Continuations have been addressing the problem of blocking servlet threads for a while now and the concept is under review for inclusion into the servlet 3.0 spec (due out near the end of the year I believe). With jetty 7.0 under development now one of the big new additions will be the implementation of the servlet 3.0 spec, which is handily already sitting on the trunk of jetty.[Read More]

A few months back I was given a chance to come work at Webtide and jumped at the chance. Really, given the chance to work with amazing people like the founders of Jetty who could say no to something like that? [Read More]
