I have created a REST WS application using eclipse WTP. So far, I was using Tomcat 7 to deploy my application. I could define Tomcat into Server runtime environments. Now i want to use jetty for to deploy that application, I downloaded jetty 8 and I have eclipse Indigo .. tried to define jetty the way i did for Tomcat but it did not work because the available adapter is for jetty6 and when I try to run my application using this adapter, I get a message saying the server does not suport version 3.0 of J2EE Web module specification
How can I run my application on jetty from eclipse?
jetty 6 supports only jsp/servlets 2.5 specification, so you need to use jetty8 with servlets/jsp 3.0 support
use maven to add jetty 8 like this
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-server</artifactId>
<version>${jetty.revision}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-webapp</artifactId>
<version>${jetty.revision}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-servlet</artifactId>
<version>${jetty.revision}</version>
</dependency>
where jetty version is for example this one
8.1.5.v20120716
