Jetty is a 100% pure Java-based HTTP Server and Servlet Container. Jetty is released as an open source project under the Apache 2.0 License. Jetty is used by several other popular projects including the JBoss and Geronimo Application Servers.
Development of Jetty is focused on creating a simple, efficient, embeddable and pluggable web server. Due to Jetty's small size, Jetty is suitable for providing web services in an embedded Java application.
