Eclipse Jetty 10.x Highlights

  • Jetty 10.x has a minimum Java requirement of Java 11.
  • Jetty 10.x modules are proper JPMS modules with module-info.class.
  • Jetty 10.x supports the following technology specs (from the Jakarta EE 8 effort):
    • javax.servlet - 4.0.1
    • javax.servlet.jsp - 2.2
    • javax.servlet.jsp.jstl - 1.2
    • javax.el - 3.0.0
    • javax.websocket - 1.1
  • Jetty 10.x will be the last major version of Jetty to support the javax.servlet namespace.
    Use Jetty 11.x for the updated jakarta.servlet namespace.

Important Changes

  • Classic jetty logging facade has been replaced with slf4j-api usage
  • There is no longer a jetty-distribution, use jetty-home with a proper ${jetty.base} instead.
    See: Operations Guide: Architecture
    • New demo jetty-start module exists to replace the old demo-base functionality.
  • Remove jetty-all uber artifact
  • Managing Configuration within a WebAppContext has a new API.
    (They are now self ordering and do not require knowledge of Jetty internals to use successfully)
  • Complete WebSocket refactoring, those using the Jetty APIs or embedded-jetty will need to update their code.
    • Support for WebSocket over HTTP/2 (client and server)
  • Jetty HttpClient has been improved.
    • Supports dynamic protocol upgrade (http/2 and http/1.1).
  • Session management has been refactored as well.
