I'm trying to create an embedded jetty server with both a custom servlet that serves some dynamic data, and default servlet that will serve some images. I have the custom servlet working, but I can't figure out how to add a default servlet to serve the image files.
This is what I have...
private void setUpServer(ServerOptions options){
s = new Server(options.getPort());
this.options = options;
context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
context.setContextPath("/");
s.setHandler(context);
context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new DataServlet()), "/data/*");
context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new DefaultServlet()), "/pictures/*");
}
I can't figure out how to configure the DefaultServlet to work as a file server and still have the custom DataServelet still work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
What you need:
- A DefaultServlet at "/" (recommended, it is a requirement of the servlet spec)
- this should be at named dispatcher of "default" (another requirement of servlet spec)
- An alternate DefaultServlet with your custom static content, configured via init-params
- Using a different named dispatcher than "default" (to avoid a name collision between other servlet spec features)
- You can use the
ServletHolder.setInitParameter(name,value)
to accomplish this
- Be sure you set the
pathInfoOnly
parameter to true
(to get around special cases for "default" named dispatchers)
- A servlet of your own, serving dynamic content.

public class AltDefaultServlet

public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("org.eclipse.jetty.LEVEL","INFO");
Server server = new Server();
ServerConnector connector = new ServerConnector(server);
connector.setPort(8080);
server.addConnector(connector);
// The filesystem paths we will map
String homePath = System.getProperty("user.home");
String pwdPath = System.getProperty("user.dir");
// Setup the basic application "context" for this application at "/"
// This is also known as the handler tree (in jetty speak)
ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
context.setBaseResource(Resource.newResource(pwdPath));
context.setContextPath("/");
server.setHandler(context);
// add a simple Servlet at "/dynamic/*"
ServletHolder holderDynamic = new ServletHolder("dynamic", DynamicServlet.class);
context.addServlet(holderDynamic, "/dynamic/*");
// add special pathspec of "/home/" content mapped to the homePath
ServletHolder holderHome = new ServletHolder("static-home", DefaultServlet.class);
holderHome.setInitParameter("resourceBase",homePath);
holderHome.setInitParameter("dirAllowed","true");
holderHome.setInitParameter("pathInfoOnly","true");
context.addServlet(holderHome,"/home/*");
// Lastly, the default servlet for root content (always needed, to satisfy servlet spec)
// It is important that this is last.
ServletHolder holderPwd = new ServletHolder("default", DefaultServlet.class);
holderPwd.setInitParameter("dirAllowed","true");
context.addServlet(holderPwd,"/");
try
{
server.start();
server.dump(System.err);
server.join();
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
t.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
}
