Getting Started With Jetty">first section</a> emphasizes beginning to use Jetty. |
| It provides information about what Jetty is and where you can download it, and where to find Jetty in repositories like Central Maven. |
| It also provides a Quick Start guide on how to get Jetty up and running as well as an overview of how and what to configure in Jetty.</li><li class="listitem">The <a class="link" href="jetty-config-guide.html" title="Part II. Jetty Configuration Guide">second section</a> of the guide deals with configuring Jetty at a more granular level. |
| It explains how to use Jetty to deploy web applications, configure contexts and connects, and how to implement SSL and other security measures.</li><li class="listitem">Administration of Jetty is the focus of the <a class="link" href="jetty-admin-guide.html" title="Part III. Jetty Administration Guide">third section</a> of the guide. |
| From server startup to session management, logging, HTTP/2 support and Jetty optimization, these chapters will help administrators get the most out of their Jetty server instances. |
| This section also covers configuring many of the most common servlet container features such as JNDI and JMX.</li><li class="listitem">Aimed at advanced users of Jetty, the <a class="link" href="jetty-dev-guide.html" title="Part IV. Jetty Development Guide">fourth section</a> of the guide focuses on Jetty development. |
| A large portion of this section is focused on using Jetty as an embedded server in existing applications. |
| It contains several examples and how-to guides for making the most out of the Jetty framework. |
| This section also includes a guide on using the Jetty Maven plugin as well as information on debugging Jetty.</li><li class="listitem">The <a class="link" href="jetty-ref-guide.html" title="Part V. Jetty Reference Guide">final section</a> of the guide is a reference section. |
| Included there are guides on Jetty architecture and Jetty XML syntax, alternate distributions of Jetty and even troubleshooting of common issues. |
| There is also a chapter on getting involved in the Jetty community including information on how to contribute code and how to find help.</li></ul></div><p>Feedback is always welcome! |
