Jetty Runner
If you're looking for a fast and easy way to run your webapp, without needing to install and administer a Jetty distro, then look no further, the Jetty Runner is here! The idea of the Jetty Runner is extremely simple - run a webapp from the command line using a single jar and as much default configuration as possible:

  java -jar jetty-runner.jar my.war

Voila! Jetty will start on port 8080 and deploy the my.war webapp.

Patterns for Servlet 3.0 suspend usage.
This blog presents 5 patterns of suspend usage for servlet-3.0, which can help explain the generic cases, provide a template for specific implementations and/or be the basis of frameworks to help developers.

JSR-315 Needs YOU!
The expert group for JSR 315 (servlet-3.0) has come to a bit of an impasse regarding some new features for auto discovery of servlets and filters. Some members of the EG have some security/flexibility concerns regarding these features, but others do not think the concerns significant enough to warrant additional complexity in configuration options.
In order to resolve this impasse, the EG has decided to solicit more community feedback. So this is my biased blog soliciting that feedback.

Use-Cases for Async Servlets

Jetty 7.0.0pre0 released!
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!
