Hi,

Please can someone outline the steps to start jetty web server from command line to that it can server static content . I am using version 9.3.x .

Couple of examples from google to setup jetty 9 for serving static content did not help . The documentation also was not very helpful.

Appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks
Kartech

Since you're not embedding it within an application of your own, you should get the full jetty-distribution download. Its 'bin' directory will contain a rather complex script for running Jetty.

The simplest steps are to make a folder in the unpacked "webapps" directory to represent your web application's static content root, include an empty WEB-INF directory in there, and then to run Jetty with "java -Djetty.port=8080 -jar start.jar". Here's a sample layout once unpacked:

jetty-distribution-9.3.0.v20150612/
jetty-distribution-9.3.0.v20150612/webapps/
jetty-distribution-9.3.0.v20150612/webapps/myapp/
jetty-distribution-9.3.0.v20150612/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/
jetty-distribution-9.3.0.v20150612/webapps/myapp/index.html

Thanks for your mail.

I set up a standalone jetty instance. I created a folder
myapp under webapps folder within jetty. I am trying to test a simple page that uses a js file (angularjs) and a css file(bootstrap).

webapps
----- myapps
-----------WEB-INF
-----------angular.js
-----------bootstrap.css
-----------bootstrap-theme.css
-----------test.html

On entering the URL http://localhost:5051/myapp/test.html in the browser The test.html page does not load the css and js files. Debugging using Chrome I see that it returns a HTTP 404.
Can you help me understand why jetty cannot find and load the static content such as js and css files under myapp?

If I remove the js and css file references in the HEAD in the html file, the html file renders with "Test class" as expected.

Below is the content of my test.html file
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app>
<head lang="en">
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Work Order Tracker</title>
    <script src="angular.js"/>
    <link href="bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
    <link href="bootstrap-theme.css" rel="stylesheet">	
</head>

<body>
    <div class="btn btn-default">{{"AngularJS"}}</div>
    <div class="btn btn-success">Bootstrap</div>
    <h1> Test class</h1>
</body>
</html>

Are there any case mismatches or permission issues at play? I've not tried to serve CSS, but static content has generally just worked in my uses, including directory listings.
