jetty

Java is already installed, there is a symlink /usr/java/jdk and #java -version java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

The older HOWTO is here: http://rimuhosting.com/jetty.jsp

First, download and unzip jetty:

{
VERSION=6.1.5
cd /opt
if [ -e jetty ]; then
  mv jetty jetty.old
fi
wget "http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty-$VERSION/jetty-$VERSION.zip"
unzip jetty-$VERSION.zip
ln -sf /opt/jetty-$VERSION /opt/jetty
adduser -s /sbin/nologin -d /opt/jetty jetty
chown -R jetty:jetty /opt/jetty
rm -rf /opt/jetty/logs
mkdir -p /var/log/jetty
ln -s /var/log/jetty /opt/jetty/logs
mv /opt/jetty/etc /etc/jetty
ln -s /etc/jetty /opt/jetty/etc
}

Next, test that jetty runs correctly:

cd /opt/jetty
java -jar start.jar etc/jetty.xml

Jetty should start on port 8080, connect with your browser and check it out. If there are errors at this point, read them carefully. Hit Ctrl-C to quit.

Next, we need to make jetty start up nicely as a service. It comes with a script, bin/jetty.sh Try:

/opt/jetty/bin/jetty.sh check
/opt/jetty/bin/jetty.sh start

Startup script (usually /etc/init.d/jetty):

#!/bin/sh
exec su - -c "/opt/jetty/bin/jetty.sh $1"

However, it really doesn't look like the developers intend for you to run jetty as non-root, or at least I can't figure out how. You can chmod -R root: /opt/jetty but…
