[jetty-users] Catch jetty server exceptions when running as standalone

[Nir Barel <nirba@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

Does it possible to catch and handle exception thrown by jetty server ( start.jar )

For example if I want to catch BindException  and tell my user a more informative error why it can happen:
