Embed Winstone with jetty server

Question

I have a jar file embedded with jetty and a war file running on winstone. I need to embed two projects with same server or is it possible to embed winstone with jetty server to run on same port?

Answer 1

No, you can't combine those on the same port.

However, you can do something else ...

1. Migrate your winstone use to the embedded-jetty-live-war pattern
2. Merge your embedded-jetty jar file code into the theserver/src/main/java/jetty/livewar/ServerMain.java from the embedded-jetty-live-war example project (maintained by the Jetty Project)

The end result is a single Server instance, with 2 webapps running in it.

You can choose to have it exist as a live-war (aka winstone like), or as a Jar executable that just loads the WebAppContext of the war file as a second handler on the Server. (use a HandlerCollection or HandlerList with the Server.setHandler() call)
