Roller and Jetty.

Comments[1] by Dave in Roller

I've always thought it would be cool to package Roller, Jetty, and Hsql-db together with a nice installer and make it really, really easy to download and try Roller. All you'd have to do to start Roller would be to run the installer and run a startup script. So, today I was very happy to see that somebody, by the name of Tarka, has documented the Roller installation process for Jetty. Thanks Tarka.

Jetty appears to be very flexible. The Jetty configuration files allow you to instantiate, configure, and call arbitrary Java objects. I wonder if there is a way to configure Jetty to start HSQL in-process, or if I need to write my own launcher to start/stop Jetty and HSQL? Later... hey, maybe that is what JettyPlus does...

Dave, Version 0.3 of <a href="http://www.methodize.org/nntprss/">nntp//rss</a> embeds both <a href="http://jetty.mortbay.org/">Jetty</a> and <a href="http://hsqldb.sf.net">hsqldb</a> - you might want to take a quick peak at its code to see how it could be integrated. Jetty's API makes it very easy to bootstrap a web server and point it to a WAR.
