Please consider opening up jetty replacement with other custom server:

[gencube]

HI,

public class MyNetworkServer implements NetworkServer {
}

...
// just like in port and before port(8080)
server(new MyNetworkServer());

That way, we can write a hook to replace jetty with an even better server or Custom server like Netty or Undertow.

+1 for undertow

Undertow is what I am thinking about.

Personally, I would really prefer that Spark gets split into 2 totally separate project: a REST router with no server dependencies at all AND then a separate all-in-one combo with an embedded server.

If we have the first part (i.e. standalone REST router) then we could embed it in our existing Dropwizard services and get rid of Jersey
