Listing Available and Active Modules

The standard Jetty Distribution ships with several modules defined in ${jetty.home}/modules/. These modules allow flexibility for implementations and make configuration a much more plug-and-play set up.

Enabling Modules

Tip

The default distribution has a co-mingled ${jetty.home} and ${jetty.base} where the directories for ${jetty.home} and ${jetty.base} point to the same location. It is highly encouraged that you learn about the differences in Jetty Base vs Jetty Home and take full advantage of this setup.

Jetty ships with many modules defined in ${jetty.home}/modules. Enabling a module is a simple process: simply add the --add-to-start syntax on the command line. Doing this will enable the module and any dependent modules.

An example of this, with a new, empty, base directory. We can see from this output, that the directory is new.

[jetty]$ mkdir mybase
[jetty]$ cd mybase
[mybase]$ ls -la
total 0

Lets try adding some basic support for webapps, with automatic deploy (hot deploy), and a single basic HTTP/1.1 connector.

[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --add-to-start=http,webapp,deploy
INFO : webapp          initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.d/webapp.ini
INFO : server          initialised (transitively) in ${jetty.base}/start.d/server.ini
INFO : http            initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.d/http.ini
INFO : deploy          initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.d/deploy.ini
MKDIR: ${jetty.base}/webapps
INFO : Base directory was modified

This created the webapps directory in our mybase directory and appended the start.ini file with the ini template arguments from the associated module files. Additionally, where needed, Jetty enabled any module dependencies and added their module ini template properties.

Lets see what it looks like configuration wise.

You now have a configured and functional server, albeit with no webapps deployed. At this point you can place a webapp (war file) in the mybase/webapps/ directory and and start Jetty.

Start.ini vs. Start.d

In the above example, when a module is activated the contents of that module file are added in ${jetty.base}/start.ini. As additional modules are added, their contents are appended to this file. This can be beneficial if you want all of your module configurations in a single file, but for large server instances with lots of modules it can pose a challenge to quickly find and make changes or to remove a module.

As an alternative to a single start.ini file you can opt to house modules in a ${jetty.base}/start.d directory. Modules activated when a start.d directory exists will be stored as a single file per module. Below is an example of a fresh ${jetty.base} that will create a start.d directory and activate several modules.

[jetty.home]$ mkdir mybase
[jetty.home]$ cd mybase/
[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --create-startd
INFO : Base directory was modified
[mybase]$ ls -all
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 staff  staff  102 Aug 29 15:16 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 26 staff  staff  884 Aug 29 15:16 ..
drwxr-xr-x   6 staff  staff  204 Aug 29 15:19 start.d

[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --add-to-start=server,client,webapp,websocket

INFO : client          initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.d/client.ini
INFO : Base directory was modified
[mybase]$ cd start.d/
[mybase]$ ls -all
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  6 staff  staff   204 Aug 29 15:19 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 staff  staff   102 Aug 29 15:16 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 staff  staff   177 Aug 29 15:19 websocket.ini

In the example, we first create a new ${jetty.base} and then create the start.d directory with the --create-startd command. Next, we use the --add-to-start command which activates the modules and creates their respective ini files in the start.d directory.

If you have an existing start.ini file but would like to use the start.d structure for additional modules, you can use the --create-startd command as well. Doing this will create the start.d directory and copy your existing start.ini file in to it. Any new modules added to the server will have their own <module name>.ini file created in the start.d directory.

[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --add-to-start=server,client,webapp,websocket
INFO : webapp          initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.ini
INFO : server          initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.ini
INFO : websocket       initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.ini
INFO : client          initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.ini
INFO : Base directory was modified

[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --create-startd
INFO : Base directory was modified
[mybase]$ tree
.
└── start.d
    └── start.ini

[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --add-to-start=ssl
INFO : ssl             initialised in ${jetty.base}/start.d/ssl.ini
INFO : Base directory was modified
[mybase]$ tree
.
├── etc
│   └── keystore
└── start.d
    ├── ssl.ini
    └── start.ini

Note

It is not recommended to use both a ${jetty.base}/start.ini file and a ${jetty.base}/start.d directory at the same time and doing so can cause issues.

Configuring Modules

Once a module has been enabled for the server, it can be further configured to meet your needs. This is done by editing the associated ini file for the module. If your server setup is using a centralized ini configuration, you will edit the ${jetty.base}/server.ini file. If you have elected to manage each module within it’s own ini file, you can find these files in the ${jetty.base}/start.d directory.

When a module is activated, a number of properties are set by default. To view these defaults, open up the associated ini file. Listed in the ini file is the associated module file and any properties that can be set.

Below is an example of the requestlog.ini file:

# ---------------------------------------
# Module: requestlog
--module=requestlog

## Logging directory (relative to $jetty.base)
# jetty.requestlog.dir=logs

## File path
# jetty.requestlog.filePath=${jetty.requestlog.dir}/yyyy_mm_dd.request.log

## Date format for rollovered files (uses SimpleDateFormat syntax)
# jetty.requestlog.filenameDateFormat=yyyy_MM_dd

## How many days to retain old log files
# jetty.requestlog.retainDays=90

## Whether to append to existing file
# jetty.requestlog.append=true

## Whether to use the extended log output
# jetty.requestlog.extended=true

## Whether to log http cookie information
# jetty.requestlog.cookies=true

## Timezone of the log entries
# jetty.requestlog.timezone=GMT

## Whether to log LogLatency
# jetty.requestlog.loglatency=false

The first lines name the module file being called (located in {$jetty.home/modules}). Subsequent lines list properties that can be changed as well as a description for each property. To edit a property, first un-comment the line by deleting the # at the start of the line, then make the change after = sign (such as changing a true value to false).

Disabling Modules

Disabling a module is an easy process. To disable a module, comment out the --module= line in the associated ini file. Deleting the ini file associated with module is another option, but may not be practical in all situations.

Listing Available and Active Modules

To see which modules are available, use the --list-modules command line argument. This command will also show you which modules are enabled. Modules are sorted by the value in the [tags] section of the associated .mod file. If there are multiple entries in the [tags] section, it sorts by the first tag in the list.

Note

By default, the --list-modules command line argument shows all modules that do not include internal in the [tags] section of the associated .mod file. If you would like to see all modules, use --list-all-modules

Here’s an example of the --list-modules command:

[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --list-modules

Searching Modules

Since the introduction of the module system, many new modules have been added. As a result, looking at the module list as a whole can be somewhat overwhelming. To narrow down which modules you would like to choose from, you can search by values listed under the [tags] section. Note that when you search this way, all modules that include your criteria in it’s [tags] section, including internal modules, will be shown. To filter out internal modules when searching a specific module tag, simply add -internal to the command line. For example, if you wanted to look at only the logging modules (excluding the internal implementation modules), you would use --list-modules=logging,-internal.

[mybase]$ java -jar ../start.jar --list-modules=logging,-internal
