Direct Download

If you don't use Maven, you can drop soklet-jetty-1.0.18.jar directly into your project. You'll also need Jetty 9 as a dependency.

Example Code

// Assumes you're using Guice as your DI framework via soklet-guice
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  Injector injector = createInjector(Modules.override(new SokletModule()).with(new AppModule()));
  Server server = injector.getInstance(Server.class);

  // Start the server
  new ServerLauncher(server).launch(StoppingStrategy.ON_KEYPRESS, () -> {
    // Some custom on-server-shutdown code here, if needed
  });
}

class AppModule extends AbstractModule {
  @Inject
  @Provides
  @Singleton
  public Server provideServer(InstanceProvider instanceProvider) {
    // We'll have Jetty be our Soklet server
    return JettyServer.forInstanceProvider(instanceProvider).port(8080).build();
  }
}

See the Soklet website for complete documentation of server configuration options.
