Re: [jetty-users] Executable jar file for embedded jetty application

[Joakim Erdfelt <joakim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using makefile you'll have a lot of extra work to do with merging various files for this executable jar (aka uber-jar).

There are 2 example projects we maintain, but they use maven and the various plugins that do the merging for us in a smart fashion.

If you are working with ServletContextHandler, you can use a uber-jar.

https://github.com/jetty-project/embedded-jetty-uber-jar

This will merge everything that you use into a single executable jar for yourself.

If you are working with WebAppContext, you can use a live-war.

https://github.com/jetty-project/embedded-jetty-live-war

This produces a war file that, can itself, be executed (like an executable jar).

This has the same merging concerns as above, but is structured differently to allow the war file to operate safely.

Hello All:

I have a fully functioning embedded jetty application.

I would now like to package it in an executable jar file.

I do not use maven or ant. It is built using a makefile.

I have a manifest file containing the needed jar files etc.

I can build the executable jar file. However the problem occurs

when I run it. The application starts and I get no error messages

but I cannot contact the embedded server via the command line or

a web browser.

I have gone over the documentation and it is not obvious if what I want to do

is even possible. So I have a few questions:

0)Am I missing something in the documentation?

1)Is building an executable jar file without maven or ant possible?

2)If so, how? Do I need to add some code to my embedded server?

thank you,

west suhanic
