I've used Jetty for years. My impression is that it is used pretty
heavily in an embedded role, but not very often at all as a standalone
server. But I personally use it as a standalone server.
The webapps I'm working on will be deployed to existing servers already
running Jetty.
Years ago I started working on Java webapps with Tomcat, and I found the
process of configuring the server rather confusing. I switched to Jetty
back then and have used it ever since. I know it's been a while, and
many things have probably changed, but I really have no desire to go
back to Tomcat or a derivative as I have an extremely high comfort level
with Jetty.
I'll take a look at that source code - I'm fine cooking something up
myself, but wasn't sure where to start from. Thank you!

Subject: Re: OWB, Servlets and Jetty 9
Hi Steve,
think we are very few to use jetty and with modern tooling (tomee
embedded, tomcat embedded etc) jetty request kind of decreased I think.
To make it work you would need to wrap the InstanceManager
instantiating servlets/filters of jetty to add CDI integration there.
This is pretty close of what tomcat integration does
(https://github.com/apache/openwebbeans/blob/trunk/webbeans-tomcat7/src/main/java/org/apache/webbeans/web/tomcat7/TomcatInstanceManager.java).
BTW out of curiosity: why didn't you choose tomee instead of
integrating it all yourself?

Hey all,
New to CDI - I'm working on switching my JEE webapps from JSF managed
beans to CDI.
I use Jetty, exclusively, and JSF works fine with Jetty and OWB, but
@Inject in servlets (and presumably elsewhere) does not.
I started out with JBoss Weld, which ships with Jetty 9, but trying to
get Weld working in my IDE was a nightmare and I gave up. (IntelliJ
IDEA Ultimate 2016.2 if anyone cares, but this morning I upgraded to
2016.3)
So as an alternative to getting the bundled CDI functionality to work,
I tried OpenWebBeans instead and now I'm good to go, except that I
can't use DI in the servlets I'm creating.
I have a workaround (query BeanManager through JNDI), so this is not a
life-or-death urgent issue (not even close!) - but it would be nice if
I could get it working. A mailing list search turned up
http://markmail.org/search/?q=servlet+injection+jetty+list%3Aorg.apache.openwebbeans.user+order%3Adate-backward#query:servlet%20injection%20jetty%20list%3Aorg.apache.openwebbeans.user%20order%3Adate-backward+page:2+mid:gzti4hxxl76lqyhf+state:results
That thread states that Jetty 8 is buggy and that the OWB team even
gave up on working with Jetty and switched to Tomcat* - but the thread
is from 2012, and Jetty 8 was EOL'd a while ago.
So my questions are:
** What is the current state of @Inject using OWB and Jetty?
** If it's not working, what would be required to *get* it working?
Weld can do DI into Servlets and Filters in Jetty 7, 8 or 9, and into
Servlet listeners in 9.1.1 or newer. (according to
https://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/latest/en-US/html/environments.html#_jetty)
But I'd much rather use OWB.
Thanks,
Steve
* OWB and Tomcat are both ASF projects. Weird that y'all didn't use
Tomcat from the start.
