Jetty 7.0.0pre0 released!
stuff just keeps getting better
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!
Asynchronous Content Aggregation with Servlet 3.0
taking servlet 3.0 concepts for a test drive and helping web services scale
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.
Webtide
my new home
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?
