Separate webapps in Jetty on different ports

Question

I need the following setup.

• Jetty must listen on port 8080 and 9090
• Each port must have its own separate applications (i.e. webapp1 runs on 8080 and webapp2 on 9090). The web-apps should only be accessible on their designated ports (i.e. webapp2 must not! be available on port 8080).

I have successfully added extra connectors to etc/jetty.xml so it now uses port 8080 and 9090. I have also added extra handlers so it now pick ups webaps from multiple directories (dir1/webapp1 and dir2/webapp2).

My problem is this: jetty deployes all webapps found by each handler to every connector (i.e. every port) and thus webapp1 and webapp2 both becomes accessible on port 8080 and 9090.

I need a way to ensures that handler1 (handles dir1/webapp1) is only designated to connector1 (listens on port 8080) and equally for connector2 to only pick up handler2 (handles dir2/webapp2) on port 9090.

Is there a way of accomplishing this?

Answer 1

Why don't you use two Jetty installations, if you want to separate the apps?

Answer 3

You are basically going to create two instances in the same JVM.

Create two .xml files, and in each of the .xml files, specify:

...
<Set name="port">XXXX</Set>
...
<New id="webAppX"  class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">      
  <Arg><Ref id="Contexts"/></Arg>
  <Arg><SystemProperty name="jetty.home"/>/webapps/X</Arg>
  <Arg>/webappX</Arg>
  ...
</New>
...

[make sure you replace the X values in the appropriate xml files.]

Start Jetty with two instances in the same JVM, like this:

java -jar start.jar webapp1.xml webapp2.xml
