Jetty

Jetty coverage focuses on embedded Jetty applications: handlers, Jakarta Servlet APIs, server lifecycle management, and HTTP testing without requiring an external servlet container install.

Framework overview

AI Coding Skills Jetty work emphasizes:

• Embedded Server bootstrap and graceful shutdown
• Handlers and/or Jakarta Servlet deployments
• Clear separation of server wiring and application logic
• Integration tests over HTTP

Supported Java versions

Java	Notes
21	Preferred for new projects
17	Supported for compatibility

Supported framework versions

Target a current stable Eclipse Jetty 12.x line with Jakarta EE APIs unless a skill page states otherwise.

Programming model

• Construct and configure an embedded Jetty Server
• Register handlers or servlet contexts
• Manage lifecycle (start, join/stop, graceful shutdown)
• Prefer jakarta.servlet APIs over legacy javax.servlet

Compatibility notes

• Prefer Jetty 12 + Jakarta namespaces for new skills.
• Always demonstrate graceful shutdown in bootstrap output.
• Keep HTTP tests independent of hardcoded developer machine ports when practical.
