Unpacking wars on deployment 

By default, Jetty will unpack your war as it is deployed. This is because JSP compilers 

typically can only compile unpacked classes. To change this behaviour, set the following 

property: 

false 

Classloading behaviour 

By default, Jetty follows the Java 2 specification for class loading. That is,  when loading a 

class, Jetty first delegates to the webapp s parent class loader. This should be the norm 

within JBoss to take advantage of the unified class loading mechanism. However, it is 

possible to force Jetty to follow the Servlet 2.3 class loading specification, whereby Jetty first 

tries the webapp s own loader when loading   non system   classes. If you are sure you need 

this kind of behaviour, set the following: 

false 

Changing the default HTTP listener port 

By default, Jetty listens on port 8080. To change this,  modify the 

Port

 property of the 

addListener

 element: 

Changing other HTTP listener port attributes 

The 

jboss service.xml

 file specifies several extra attributes for the operation of Jetty 

which you may find useful to customise to your environment:
