Eclipse Jetty - Servlet Engine and Http Server 12.0

12.0

Description

Jetty 12 supports a number of innovative features.

  • The Servlet-Api has been removed from the internals of Jetty allowing for non-servlet-based application creation.
  • An Environment abstraction has been created allowing support for multiple versions of the Servlet-Api.
  • Support for javax.servlet and jakartaee.servlet namespaces supported.
Architectural Issues

Historically Jetty used the Servlet-Api Request/Response objects to process through the handler chain.  With Jetty 12 we use our own Request/Response objects for the handler chain until processing enters an Environment that starts using the given Servlet-Api Request/Response objects.

Security Issues

No known security issues will release with Jetty 12.
