[Geoserver-devel] Upgrading Jetty?

One minor thing I noticed during 2.2 testing is that our Jetty hasn't
been upgraded in probably 4 years. I see it as version 6.1.8. Jetty is
up to version 8 these days, in stable releases.

Definitely not something to do between rc1 and 2.2.0. But perhaps
worth investigating on trunk? There may be random security holes, and
I imagine some things may have gotten a bit faster. More likely is
that jetty may actually be smaller, the download for 8.1.4 seems half
the size of 6.1.8. Though there may be some plugins or something that
we need, they could have just slimmed the core.

Yeah, I think its definitely worth looking at on trunk. Last I recall we actually didn’t run on jetty 7… but that may be a super outdated issue.

For what it's worth, I'm having an ugly time finding actual documentation for
Jetty-6. The site it's supposed to be on says Jetty's docs were moved, and
the place they were moved to doesn't have Jetty-6 docs, nor does it have a
downloadable copy of Jetty-6, hence no compatible example configs are
present either.

Thou art a sad panda.
