disable default start of Jetty [message #119203]

Hi All,

I want to use Jetty servlet container to host my servlets within
OSGi, however, the equinox.http.jetty bundle seems to start jetty by
default on port 80, or the port specified by the
org.osgi.service.http.port property in config.ini. However I want to
programmatically start the Jetty on a my own port at runtime. I am able to
use JettyConfigurator class for this purpose and am finding it convenient,
however, I see that the default server instance still keeps running and I
am unable to stop that from happening. Is there a way i could specify that
the default server instance should not get started. ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks,
Srijith.

Srijith,
maybe Jetty is starting on Equinox startup, because it's bundle is
listed in osgi.bundles variable in config.ini?

Thanks for your reply! appreciate it.

Yes it is started on Equinox startup by the osgi.bundles property in
config.ini. I removed the "@start" and found that I am able to obtain my
required behaviour. However i am not sure, whether it is the correct way
to go about it.! Because after starting like that I see that
or.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty is in ACTIVE state. I'm just worried whether
i'll run into an IllegalStateException later.

Hi,

there are two ways of disabling the auto-start of the Jetty HTTP server
in the Jetty bundle.

1. Use lazy activation for the Jetty bundle
2. Set property "org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.autostart=false" in
config.ini (or via -D... VM argument)

For example, option 1 is used in Eclipse itself. If you start Eclipse,
the Jetty bundle is there but the HTTP server will not be started
because the bundle is activated lazy, i.e. when some of its classes are
accessed.
