Template - Embedded Jetty/SpringMVC/JSP Application

Summary

This is a standalone Spring based Java application that embeds Jetty and uses SpringMVC as its web tier. Spring Security is used for authentication.

It is a template that demonstrates embedding Jetty and SpringMVC into your application as a web tier instead of deploying your application into a container.

Running

With Maven

mvn compile exec:java

Then point your browser at http://localhost:8080.

Basic Jar

The default package goal will build a jar in the target directory with dependency jars copied into target/lib.

mvn package
java -jar target/jetty-springmvc-jsp-template-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Fat Jar

If you would rather have a single jar that contains all the dependencies, use the 'fatjar' profile.

mvn -Pfatjar package
java -jar target/jetty-springmvc-jsp-template-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Then point your browser at http://localhost:8080.

Other Notes

• To change the port that jetty will start on, set the jetty.port property to the desired port.
